I made the first star just to see what it was going to look like. Now I need to sew three more stars. They're ready to sew, hopefully next week I'll be able to show you all four stars or maybe, perhaps, the finished center section of the quilt.
Teal is one color I don't have very much of in my stash so I went to Calico Point and bought some. I did have one fabric from my stash, the dark outside diamond. I made sure the new fabrics played well with that fabric.

This is just lovely!
That's a beautiful start to your quilt. Is that a Lone Star?
It's a small one, there will be 4 stars in the center. I can picture it in my mind, hopefully it will look like what I'm envisioning when I'm finished.
That's gorgeous! She will love it!
Those teals work so well together. A wonderful start!

Hi Gretchen, I love lone star blocks and it looks like this one will have friends - even better. Those colours are fab :-)
Your star is gorgeous, cant wait to see the finished quilt.
Beautiful lone star and love the color too.
Lone Star quilts, or in your case blocks, have always been a favorite of mine. It looks great made up in the teal fabrics.
What a beautiful star - and wow - all those points match!! that is impressive!
Wow, your star looks gorgeous! I love all these blue and teal fabrics together, you are very talented with mixing colors. Three more blocks? I thought I was a single huge star.
Thank you for sharing and linking up!
Gorgeous points and a lovely play of fabrics Gretchen!

Ooh, pretty, and I like the name just fine. I think I’ve always given quilts kind of obvious names.
