After I made the Lonestar sampler, I decided to use some of my silk tie fabric to see how it would look in a lonestar pattern. I added splashes of leftover kimono fabric here and there for color.
I did not foundation piece it. I did not back the silk with interfacing. I wanted to see how piecing the silk would look like. Okay but not okay. The silk was flimsy and after sewing it, I would have to check and recheck the pattern. Lonestar is not a forgiving pattern.
The points don't match, the lines are not straight.
Visually it looks striking. The feel of the silk is also very nice. This quilt was given to Lily.
