How to Assemble a Lone Star Quilt
The Lone Star Quilt pattern has been around for many years and is still a very popular choice among quilters. This pattern is somewhat difficult to complete without the basic understanding of quilting but will be a rewarding quilt to have once it is complete.
Items needed:
- Fabric
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Measuring tape
- Pins
- Self-healing cutting mat
- Rotary cutter
- Iron
- Batting fabric
- Backing fabric
- Cut the fabric into six-by-six rectangles with the trim interfacing. The amount of fabric needed is based on the desired size of the quilt. The fabrics should complement each other for the best final look but this is not required.
- Place and fuse the first fabric to the interfacing with an iron. Insert a pin into the second fabric in the location the stitches will need to go for future reference. The second fabric should be crosswise to the first fabric with the right sides touching.
- Turn the fabrics over and then fuse them together with an iron. Repeat this for the remaining fabrics.
- Trim away excess fabric so the section will become more diamond in shape rather than rectangular. Add additional triangles to the pattern and then assemble them on top of the pattern.
- Finish sewing the quilt pattern in correct fashion and then set aside. Lay the backing fabric out and then lay the batting fabric evenly on top of that. Place the Lone Start quilt pattern evenly on top of those two fabrics and pin the materials in place. Sew the three layers together evenly.
