Quickest Star

Here is a goofy question that will no doubt garner all manner of varying responses.

What pieced star motif quilt top do you feel goes together the quickest?

Talking about central motif type patterns here.

I find that broken stars, star spins, and log cabin stars go together pretty quickly, of course you can use log cabin technology to put together almost any central star like that. I find it is faster for me to do stars with smaller sections, so a broken star goes together faster for me than a lone star. Of course a lone star done with stripes (useing strips to make stripes) goes together pretty darn fast too.

was fast and quite beautiful. It did not have any hidden tricky parts. All you need with that one is the ability and patience to do reasonably accurate 1/4' seams. And just what, friend, are you up to? Polly

Ohio Star is easy -- if you can do 1/4 square triangles (they really aren't hard

-- I use the square ... draw diagonal line ...sew either side of the line...repeat.... method) Email me and I can send you easy directions.

Another is the Friendship Star -- 1/2 square triangles .. which are even easier then 1/4 square triangles. Thangles are handy for that as well!

One I really want to do (but probably wouldn't appear on an easy star list) is the Hunters Star.

I tend to do central star tops for quilts when the gift wars escalate to scary levels. I choose them for such for the very reason that they are fast yet give quite a handsome quilt. DH asked me the other day which one was quickest, so I expect he has a vict^H^H^H^H^H^H...errr...recipient in mind.

Gosh, I never really put much thought to that one. I make a lot of stars but never considered the motif I use to quilt with. Humm... I will have to think about that one. Surely the Friendship Star would go very quickly. julia
