I've wanted to learn to make one of these for quite a while now. This star pattern is popular with Native American cultures, and I want so much to try it. While this is the best, easiest tutorial I've found so far, I do understand that it will level up my quilting skills to keep seams aligned that don't nest. I'm so excited to pick my fabric for this one, and I'm not ruling out a christmas theme. Love it, Courtenay!!
I just love Courtenay’s personality! This company is just full of such wonderful and talented people!
This tutorial was absolutely the best! I am so impressed with Courtenay and her method. I have stayed away from even attempting a Lone Star quilt. Now I will definitely give it a try. Thank You Courtenay!
Golly it can’t be that easy…. You’ve had lots of practice! Thank you for showing us everything ♥️
Courenay did a fabulous job explaining all the methods of sewing a Lone Star! I hope to see her doing more tutorials for MSQC!
Courtney - you are awesome. What a great teacher you are . Thank you.
Jenny should be very proud of Courtenay. She did a fabulous job. I've always loved the lone star but have never had the courage to try it. I can't wait to finish my current project so I can make one. Thanks for your fabulous tutorial.
Excellent tutorial. So many excellent suggestions for success with this tricky star quilt! Courtenay's came out SO FLAT!! Awesome.
Hi from Wisconsin. This is the best Lone Star Quilt tutorial I have seen; the humor is so refreshing. Thank you Thank you Courtney, you are an awesome teacher!!!!! Jenny Doran, don’t let this one get away!!!
Love this. You are an outstanding teacher👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful tutorial! Courtenay always makes me feel like I can tackle these more challenging patterns. My DIL gave me a beautiful batik jelly roll this summer. I may have found the home for it.
Great tutorial Courtenay!! Such a great teacher!! I can't wait to make this quilt.
I loved Courtenay's tutorial. She's very professional and has a great personality.
Courtesy, you are awesome! As part of a mystery quilt, I made my first LoneStar. I watched sections of your video over and over and over again. This was definitely above my skill level, but with your help, I did it. Thank you so much!
I loved this tutorial. Can't wait to make another one....your way... Would love to see a tutorial for a larger Lone Star Quilt.
Thanks for a great tutorial.
I made one of these quilts a year ago at a quilt retreat, I wish I would have know about this method the marking would have made it so much easy. Also, I didn’t starch my fabric, but it turned of fine. If I make another one, I will definitely follow this tutorial!
That pinning method is fantastic, and works well for getting points/intersections to come out in other situations as well.
@@Westernwilson i have faith in a perfect lone star doing it your neat and peaceful method. Thanks.
Thank you so so so much , Courtenay you finally made it clear to me how to cut the right size for the background. I made the diamonds about 5 years ago and was afraid to put on to the background. You made me confident to finally finish that quilt. You are wonderful!
I've made a lone star before and survived... I may be alone in this but with all the amazing tips Courtenay gives, I think the very best one is pinching the seam you want to sew w your thumb! I have sewn the wrong side way too many times!
Thank you so much for your great instructions! I made my first one and...not to brag, but it looks pretty darn good, lol!! ❤
Oh wish I knew that little trick with the starch before I started the quilt I’m working on now. Thank you for the lesson , will make thinks easier next time. Gotta love it 😊
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! I learned several new brilliant tips to make my intersections accurate! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I absolutely love your method and explanations
Thank you for an excellent tutorial. Courtney you are a wonderful teacher, clear and consice instructions and a cheerful and positive approach. This has really inspired me to make a Lone Star using your pinning method. Thank you x
Courteney, what a fantastic job teaching!!! I can't see myself making one any time soon, but I watched it to the end. REALLY ENJOYED IT. Thank you so much.
O.m.g. msqc you have simplified yet another design. Little waste. Magical instructor. And the advice of slowing down helped out alot. Starch mark pin press (not iron). Great advice. Thank you so much. I'm so grateful to have you.
This is a bucket list quilt for me and now I feel confident enough to attempt this beautiful quilt! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Awesome tutorial! I think you have demystified the Lone Star pattern. Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks!
I really enjoyed this Tutorial/Class I make several Star Quilts a year and also teach Star Quilt Classes. I tell the participants to watch as many videos as they can find. I still do and I always learn something from each one. I don't press my seams open but I'm going to try pressing the center seams open. Thank you
Thank you Cortenay, I feel I can tackle a lone star now. Love your down to earth teaching style.
Thank you Courtenay for the concise lonestar tutorial. I look forward to seeing what you do next.
I have learnt such a lot, thank you for your clear instructions, you have given me the confident to try this.
Courtenay is my favorite - she has the greatest tips and I love her teaching method! Love this tutorial.
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever watched, clear, concise and fun to watch!!!! I’m so excited to try my first lone star quilt!!! Thank you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳!!!
Thank you again Courtenay nice to find you again I had the class on Craftsy 4 or 5 years ago found you here on utube making more lone stars 🎉🎉❤🎉🎉
Great to meet Courtenay for the first time. Great to see someone with such clear step by step instructions. I have always loved the look of the lone star quilts, but thought it too difficult. Will definitely have give it a try❤🇦🇺
So glad I watch this video, you have certainly simplified the making of a lone star quilt, will certainly be adding to my to make list, a big thank you Courtenay
and look forward to any more videos of you making a quilt again, stay safe
Wow! I’ve made 2 lone star quilts and watched other tutorials all with the darn y seem! This is fabulous! Thank you for sharing how you do this. ❤️
My Great Grandmother gave my mom a huge Lone Star handmade quilt. I would look at it and think, I'll bet there is a way to quilt that without the y-seams. But I don't think I would ever have the nerve to actually try it. Now, I can't wait to start my Lone Star Quilt! Thank you Courtney!
Happy Birthday MSQC…I love you ❤️
Made up my own method on my first Lonestar. I used strip sets, but this method is so much easier than what I came up with. Not afraid to try another one now! Thanks for the great tutorial.
Excellent tutorial! Courtenay is another fantastic MSQC teacher. Let's see more of her, please?
Absolute great teacher
One of my favorites - I am still a little nervous to try this but I have marked it for one of my 2022 Quilts. So many quilts so little time - I am now scheduling like I do with my reading. Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy many blessings!!!
Courtenay, you are Awesome !! love that you shared this with us... thank you,,,, hugs
I love this tutorial. She didn't leave out any steps of the instruction which were fantastic for me because this was my first attempt. I did watch another tutorial and several steps were left out and my first try didn't go so well but Courtney made it very easy
You are the finest teacher ever! Your choices of fabrics are exemplary for the most beautiful Lone Star I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to buy some cottage blue cloth….I’m wild for the purple background….such a successful colourway!!! Just yummy. The yellow is magnificent.
This is amazing. I have made many quilts for my family
Never made diamond Stars and was worried about it very happy to find this because it really helps a lot I appreciate it thank you very much.
I have only made one lone star, and after ripping out many seams lol I found this method Courtney used and yes it is the only way to make one ! Love your quilt the colors are gorgeous!
Such a great tutorial, Courtenay! I am inspired to give making a lone star quilt a try!
Courtenay, what fun you are! Great tutorial for a terrific quilt style.
This was brilliant ,so clear and so many good tips. I have made one lone star a few years ago and I found it tricky!! , now I know why .....I need to mark and pin and starch. Can't wait to try another . Thank you Courtenay
(Diane)Hello from the Lone Star state. I have been quilting only about 5 years. You have made this pattern seem easier to do. I will have to try it. Thanks "C".
Well done. Direct, clear instructions, a cheerful and encouraging tone. Thanks. You're a pro and this was a great tutorial.
This was fantastic!! Love the tricks you shared with us. Love all of you and have learned so much.
One of my favorite quilts. Really great teaching.
Thank you, Courtney! This was the start to finish Lone Star explantion I needed!! I love your style of teaching and your tips!
I love watching Courtenay, she is to easygoing and talanted.
I really enjoy this video, so so helpful! And Courtenay is so much fun! I can tell she knows exactly what she's doing and she loves it with her heart! I am so inspired to make some quilts now! Thank you
I tried a Lone Star quilt many years ago. Loved the fabric I chose and ended up throwing the attempt away. It's the only quit I ever threw away. Since then I have said I would never even try another one, but after watching this tutorial I am considering it.
Great tutorial, how could we not make it perfect after those wonderful instructions!
Wow what a great technique for lone star! Thank you Courtenay for your fantastic tutorial! Loved it a lot :)
Excellent teacher! I'm so glad I came across this. Lone stars are so intimidating and this gave me to confidence to tackle one!
Thank you! I made one in 1993 and I used 'Y' seams! I was surprised when I went back to see if my inside corners looked good and they did... but I remembered that I hand pieced it! :) I am going into my sewing room now and make one your way. Yesterday I finished a panel quilt from "Dignity" statue and she has the Lone Star draped around her which is why I looked for an easier way for this one. I also bordered it with diamonds and wasn't sure how to do the corners. Mine look just like yours so I guess there's not a way to turn corners easily. Thanks again!
I was terrified of this quilt pattern, now I’m ready! Thanks so very much Courtney!
Thank you, Courtney, for the best tutorial on the internet. I waited all week for this and you certainly didn't disappoint!
Thank you so much for this wonderful class. I did my fist lone star quilt and it has turned out so well so far. The starching and pinning is a great. Helps so much. Thanks again. 48:19
Thank you Courtenay for a great tutorial, I hope to see from you. I am planning to make a lone star wall hanging for bedroom. My Comforter was ruined so I bought another exactly the same. My curtains and pillows all match. My idea was to use some of the fabric from the old comforter. My color scheme is blues with a soft yellow accent as well :)
Just finished my first Lonestar!! Thank you LSQC for the educational tutorial!!
Great video Courtenay. We should see you more ha ha. Easy teaching style, I'm tempted to give this a go. Thankyou.
I used to make lone stars for a living. It never dawned on me to mark the 1/4" seam...lightening bolt! I sure like the sound of that Ever Sewn machine. It's amazingly quiet.
What a fabulous teacher Courtney is! I might be able to do a Lone Star now.
Great job Courtenay! I enjoyed watching this video. You made the lone star quilt look less intimidating.
Great job Courtenay! I was able to complete the kaleidoscope quilt in
Leah border fabric that you taught a couple of years ago! If I can do that, I can do this one!
Courtney I have been using many star patterns and you tube supports in trying to find out more how to trouble shoot. and wow yours added so much to my knowledge and will make some changes on my next star quilt. Your video was easy to watch
Thank you.
I love this video , the teacher was exceptional with explaining every detail just perfect . Thank you 😉
Wow! that was the best and clearest tutorial on lone star quilt I have ever seen. Congratulations on a job well done.
The jelly roll lone star is the most beautiful quilt I have seen! I would love to do one! I have never attempted a lone star but I feel like trying one now! Wish me good diamonds because I am going for the scrappy one!!! Thank you for such a great tutorial!
A fun tutorial to listen to while I hand quilt! Thank you for sharing!
This was fabulous! I'm so excited about accomplishing this soon! Thank you
Wow! I am new to quilting. You are a great teacher. Thank you.
Thanks for all the hints. I’ve been pinning to match the seams, but didn’t do the marking. This will be a great help.
This helped so much. Finally got all to line up. And I have been sewing for years and this has always cause me problems.
Great job Courtenay and love your colors - especially the purple..
Best tutorial I have watched!!! I have deep dived into countless videos, blogs etc- you explained very effectively that a new quilter can easily comprehend.
I was tempted to buy the interface but didn’t want to spend the money- or cut all those pieces 😊
Countenance, great job!! You made this look so easy, what great information! Thank you !
Wow! That was a great tutorial, definitely on my to-do list, but I am not ready for it yet! Courtenay, thank you for your tips, I also pin minimally and sew way too fast lol.
This explanation of starch has been a game changer! Some say they starch and I thought 💭 why? What does that do? Is it spending more money for something I should be able to do if I was a better quilter! Thank you for your sharing your knowledge and inspiration. Thank you 💛🇬🇧
Such a masterclass. Thankyou 🌸
Excellent tutorial! Will be watching this video again!!! Thank you MSQC
J'aime beaucoup la façon d'enseigner de cette dame. Clair et précis, merci ! 🇨🇦
You do an excellent job of making each step clear. I am so new. Thank you
Beautiful quilt, hope it’s not too difficult… thanks from Innisfil Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
This was awesome! Thank you! Keeping it weird here in Portland, OR
Great tutorial! I made one a long time ago. I loved all your tips and the close ups were great too!
Enjoyed this. You make it look easier than I imagined
Excellent demo. Learned many little tricks to keep the strips in order. Very helpful
I just finished my first small Lone Star. I actually did the marking of the 1/4” and pinned even though the instructions didn’t say to. BUT…I didn’t starch well enough, I did use steam and I had to rip a few seams before I started marking those seams, so I ended up with so much distortion AND I ended up cutting a few star points off trying to fix my mess. I swore that was my first and my last Lone Star. Watching this makes me want to try again! Thank you so much!
I did a memory quilt for a friend with this method, but I drew all my squares on the interfacing. It was fun and went well with the piecing. It ended up being about a queen size. I did it like a water color quilt with appliques of butterflies 😊
you answered so many questions! BEST lonestar tutorial !! great attitude, thanks!
I can’t believe you make it look so EASY
