I don't have very much more to do on my version of the Lone Star Quilt above.  I have sewn the middle section and made the arrows blocks with the machine stitching on them.  I have to join them and get to grips with the 'Y' seams again, like I did with the following quilt top called the Quick Split Broken Star, although nothing I can't handle.  But there are other quilt to finish before I let leash on this one again.

Quick Split Broken Star. Jan's blog so you can see a selection of quilts using a similar pattern and also in different colourways

If you click on the above picture it will take you to Jan's blog and just scroll down and you will find a number of interesting quilts that use a similar pattern or with a different colourway.  I have very nearly finished this quilt as well.  I am sorry I didn't use a coloured white background colour, mine is quite plain but I was so happy to find a beautiful rainbow boarder that goes so well with the centre colourwheel.  I haven't attached it yet because it took me about two years to find exactly the fabric I needed to finish this but I am convinced it will look really interesting when I finish it.  I had to master the dreaded 'Y' seams in this quilt as well.  I don't understand why I dreaded doing them as this sort of seam is quite common when garment making.  Maybe I was just being too fussy, but can you really be too fussy when precision piecing?
