I pulled red fabrics .......OK hmmmm...... to practice inset seams....... My motivation for this learning experience ?......Trying to piece hexagons.....need I say more. I've always avoided inset seams but, there are so many wonderful patterns that require Y seams....that I decided it was time for me to be buckle down and learn the dreaded Dot to Dot sewing....LOL
My first 8 pointed star! Woo Hoo! I did it...I love it........this little 8 pointed star has given me such a feeling of accomplishment. Now, do you think I'm ready for a Lone Star quilt? LOL....(repeating to myself) baby steps......baby steps.
Happy Stitching,
Shar

Congratulations. 8 pointed stars scare me, lovely work
I love it, and the colors stole my heart!
Wow! Great job on those "Y" seams. Yes, you are definitely ready for a Lone Star or any other pattern with "Y" seams.
Lovely! Perfect points!

Wow! That star looks great. Good job on those "Y" seams.
Here's one for you, I opened my bloglines and saw this picture and gasped...my son asks,"What's wrong?" and I say,"Oh, I wish I knew how to quilt!" Then he says,"Don't worry Mom, It's OK". LOL! I love this one. Great work....
Wonderfully done! 8-)
Oh Shar that is absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful star, love the colours. Lone Star is also on my list of 'to do' things.
do you have a link or a source for inset seams?

You have definitely mastered a new technique. You go girl!

Hey NICE JOB!!! love the reds. I got one in red going right now too!
it's a keeper!
Good for you. Perfect. Love the red combinations.
Oh that is so pretty! I make almost ALL lone star quilts! so I can throw together a y seam pretty easily. You probably found it was like falling into the briar patch! "ahhhhh that wasn't so bad...what was I scared of?" Great job!
