The lone star is a traditional design made from 36 strips of fabric. All machine sewn the star comes together fairly quickly - the most difficult thing is sorting the fabrics! Ideal for displaying a stunning fabric collection. Once mastered the star can either make a wall hanging, throw of its own accord or could even be the centre piece for a larger quilt.

The log cabin design is ideal for those with some sewing experience.
