    Spiral Lone Star Quilt - Jan Krentz

    Introduction

    My book, Lone Star Quilts & Beyond, was published by C&T Publishing in 2000. The combined methods of strip piecing, blocking, and assembly have been successful for thousands of quiltmakers worldwide.

    One of the most popular patterns in Lone Star Quilts & Beyond is the Spiral Lone Star quilt. I have traveled and taught this spiral design worldwide for more than twenty years. This pattern pack contains the original methods, plus additional tips and tricks from my workshops, to ensure success.

    The Spiral Lone Star quilt is not a beginner-level design. However, a quilter who masters the following basic techniques will be successful with their quilt:

        Accurate cutting

        Accurate sewing

        Accurate pressing

        Paper piecing

    Best wishes as you create your own Spiral Lone Star quilt!

    Spiral Lone Star

    Strip sizes: 2¼˝ and 2½˝

    Finished center star (tip to tip): Approximately 36½˝

    Finished quilt: Approximately 48¼˝ × 48¼˝

    This design is guaranteed to spark excitement! Visually dynamic, this graphic showstopper is easier to construct than you would expect! The central star is strip pieced, and the setting squares and corners are paper-pieced on freezer paper. The secondary diamond units are strip pieced with special seam inserts that add sparkle.
