Often when I’m selecting a design to sew I look for something that will challenge me and help me learn new skills. I’ve always loved the look of traditional lone star quilt blocks and wanted to give one a try. This was made using a free pattern from McCall’s Quilting and it was definitely challenging and fun!

The fabrics are a variety of batiks in purples, greens and browns that I found at my local quilt shop. Matching points was the tricky part of the design for me but I’m so happy with how it turned out.

My very favorite part is the outside border, especially the mitered corners.
