looking for a star pattern

It's not that difficult to rotary cut and piece.

Here's a set of instructions:

Here's another Ohio Star pattern. This one alternates with a simple appliqué block. Might make your quilt go faster.

If you look at the instructions carefully, the star is set on point and the heart is appliqued at the intersection - which doesn't seem speedy to me, appliqueing on a bigger piece is much more unwieldy than on to a small piece.

Ohio stars on point look like variable/saw tooth stars on point and vice versa. I think a variable/sawtooth star is marginally faster to piece than an ohio star, so you could do that and set it on point.

Friendship Star might work.... Using Thangles you can create a LOT of perfect HST's pretty quickly. Yes you have to tear the paper off... but I shorten my stitch WAY WAY much -- and the paper tears easily!

Here is one I did and it took me about a week from buying the fabric to sewing on the binding

Make one huge Ohio Star block, add a border or two, and you're done :)

Or make 4 18" stars, add sashing and a border or two.

I left off the L in the html. sorry about that.

There's a book called Fast Patch by Anita Hallock. Your library might have it, it'S 20 years old. Her method is a it counter-intuitive, but if you follow all the instructions, you can make a whole lot of Ohio Stars relatively quickly. Roberta in D
