Lone Star Lessons at the Senior Center

I retired from my job of the last 27 years this past February with no regrets!  With my new-found time, I am checking out the offerings at the local Senior Center.  Lo and behold, they offer quilt classes (Only $10 for 4 classes this month!), run by one of my fellow Quilt Guild members.  The project this month focuses on Lone Star blocks as laid out in the Quilter's Academy Book #4 by Harriet Hargrave.  Even though I've already done a giant queen-size lone star quilt, there is always something new to be learned -- and projects, and fellowship.  

Here's the other layout.
 

This is what I did on Week 1.   It doesn't seem like much, but the directions were a little wonky, and we spent a fair amount of time re-interpreting them to get the desired result.

This is what it should have directed us to do: Make the 45-degree cuts in the same direction.

Once these stars are complete, I think I might add them to a canvas tote bag ...  Or a jean jacket?   

Stay tuned ...
