Those 7 pointed stars kind of look like squids. Maybe you should start a blog of Quilt Wrecks. Everybody has one stuffed in their closet, don;t they?

A challenge for me to be accurate in cutting and piecing. Followed directions in an old quilt book, and found it was not too hard to make. It hangs straight, and the winner was very happy. Raised a nice bit of money for our next reunion too.CZJ in Michigannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-7146385615995312452010-10-03T02:34:50.041-05:002010-10-03T02:34:50.041-05:00opppps, forgot to add: The Cherokee Nation has 7 ...opppps, forgot to add: The Cherokee Nation has 7 Clans - thus the 7 pointed star.<br /><br />Julie in TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-48486492136086852942010-10-02T23:33:51.701-05:002010-10-02T23:33:51.701-05:00WOWOWOW - Laurie's Lone Star is fantastic!

By which army of quilters!!! 120" !!!<br /><br />In my 43 years of quilting, I have never attempted this pattern. Terrified of it. Look at all of the biases on those diamonds? But Laurie's quilt tells me, it is time I try! And make the same pattern she did.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the fun post, and wonderful photos.<br /><br />Julie in TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-44602174699549364672010-10-02T21:51:21.758-05:002010-10-02T21:51:21.758-05:00Lauri does such beautiful quilts and patterns.
