I've wanted a "Lone Star" quilt for a loooong time but was scared-to-death of the pattern! A few years ago I purchased a foundation pattern from QuiltSmart thinking I could "do" this! I auditioned a lot of fabrics and color palettes before I found the "perfect" one for me!
Finally, a few weeks ago, I got brave enough to cut the fabrics into the triangles I needed! Ok...now what? I went to a mini-retreat this past weekend and took this project with me...knowing that if I got brave enough to attempt starting and got "stuck" I'd have plenty of help! Yep, I was right! Not only did I get the encouragement I needed to start, they were right by my side until I totally understood the pattern and process! I am sooooo thankful for my quilting friends!!!!
I'm also loving what's one my design wall!

Wow! I wish I knew how to do this!!
Gorgeous! Retreats are a great place to get yourself over a hurdle! Way to go! I haven't been brave enough to attempt one of these yet, myself. Can't wait to see it finished!

Irene,
It looks great. I love the colors.
WOW...good job. That pattern scares me more than the double wedding ring. Maybe when I am done with the ring....maybe...maybe not.....
