Lone Star Block Tutorial : This is my original, step-by-step tutorial for making a simple lone star quilt block with 9 diamonds in each star section. It’s full of photos and tips, and also contains a link to a PDF for a simplified set of instructions. You can also download the PDF below:

Mod Lone Star Quilt Pattern:
This pattern makes a 70″ x 90″ single block quilt. Pieced with the same method used in my Lone Star Block tutorial, it uses wider, and additional strips to make a stunning quilt. An excellent project if you want to make a lone star quilt without making multiple blocks.
Pattern available here.
Mod Indigo Lone Star Quilt:
This is a 62″ quilt made with the Mod Lone Star Quilt pattern , but without adding borders. It demonstrates the beauty of using just one color in a lone star.
Mod Christmas Lone Star quilt top:
Another version of the Mod Lone Star . Measures 70″ x 90″ and the light round of diamonds next to the red is striking.
Lucky Lone Star Quilt:
This traditional lone star quilt features 64 diamonds in each section of the star to make a lone star block with 512 total diamonds. When planning this quilt , I asked myself this question: “If I was lucky enough to find the perfect vintage lone star quilt shop in some antique store, what would it look like?” Then I made it.

Lone Star Party Quilt:
This is an improv quilt made with 8 different sizes of lone star blocks. Every block is a basic, 3 strip, 9 diamond block, but they are made in all different sizes by using different widths when cutting my strips. The sizes used are all mentioned in Table 3 of my PDF. This quilt was an experiment in using the traditional lone star block in a modern way. I loved making this quilt!
Whimsy Christmas Lone Star Quilt:
This quilt was made using 2″ strips of fabric and is traditional in layout. I mixed things up a bit by using large scale prints instead of small ones just for fun.
