FREE PATTERN + One Jelly Roll = Lone Star Quilt!

[@GooGooGal316]

I love this channel, honestly she’s the best teacher on KZbin.

[@3Babybugz]

Thank you Donna, for this tutorial. Once upon a time I saw this quilt style in someone’s home and was delighted to learn that she made it herself. I paid her $400 to make one for me. I was always very intimidated by quilting. When my daughters were a seven and eight, I enrolled them in a quilting for children’s class. The instructor was gracious enough to allow me to be a student if I helped reinforce her instruction in the work room. I was so grateful to her for this newfound skill. However, I remained intimidated by the Lonestar. Your tutorial, however, remedied this fear, and I am so ready now. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.❤

[@kathiethompson6719]

I love seeing your industrial machine and hearing it stitch. Until 2014, I had a Bernina950 and I loved it but sold it to a woman in Mineral Wells, Texas since she needed one to make horse blankets. I no longer was making the flags for which I bought it, so I didn't really need it. However, I wish I still had it when I see you use yours. Thanks for great videos.

[@kascension]

I can't believe one jelly roll made all of that! When i saw the thumbnail, i thought 'that quilt is too hard'. And yet your clear nd informational instructions took the fear nd doubt right out of it! Matt is right about that black background. Great work you two. Bravo!

[@annetteernst5359]

I learned more tonight by watching six of your videos then I have learned in one year of classes!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! It’s so hard to stop watching!! I thank you so very very much!!🤗🤗🤗😊

[@janetpaulsen195]

Thank you for the free pattern. I think you are the best instructor for quilting. This tutorial is 2 years old and I’m so happy you still have it up.

[@darlinedasilva5459]

❤❤❤😊 Fantastic instructor just fantastic❤

[@brendasweeney2806]

Just because a video is several years old doesn’t mean anything to me. I want to watch it and see it new or old. Please keep all old videos on. Thank you

I find these tutorials strangely addicting. I've already watched three. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.

Donna, I'm a new quilter, have just sewn four quilt tops this winter. I'm grateful and proud to be learning from you. Your directions and shortcuts are wonderful! I especially appreciate it when you teach how to repair an error. On this Lone Star tutorial you showed how to fix a seam stitched too deep. As a beginner, these tips are invaluable.Thank you. Greetings and appreciation from Alaska. ps: My quilt is glorious!

[@mrslincoln5118]

Brilliant solution to Y corners. Been quilting for years and have always shied away from them. During this time of quarantine, I'm so glad to have found your tutorials, Donna! I have been watching them daily, over and over again. I open my email every morning hoping you have worked through the night to bring us another. LOLOL. I thought I was a good quilting teacher...but YOU are AMAZING!!! Thank you for your hard work, stellar techniques, and generous sharing of your beautiful patterns. ❣❣❣

[@pjones5583]

Donna, I cut the pieces today as soon as I finished watching your video. Ready to sew. You are inspiring. Thank you.

[@jenniferthetruckgirl3535]

This was challenging. Loved it! I made one completely from scraps- even the black is pieces together. :) I wish I could put up a pic. I am in love with it.

[@dalesuhre6522]

My grandmother made a lot of quilts, and when she passed away there were boxes of quilt tops that were never made into quilts. For Christmas I received one of these tops and it was the Lone Star pattern. I'm estimating the quilt top itself is 40 years old. I was going to make small Lonestar blocks to sew together to make my own quilt. But now I am to try your pattern to make a quilt. My grandmother's was 84 in by 84 in just the star. Thank you for the free pattern, it is just the size that I wanted to make.

[@glorygracek.1841]

Thank you so much for this video! My Grandma made a star quilt like this except she did rows like you did in the middle all the same around with each color instead of "scrapy". Was my childhood favorite. She died before I was born so she couldn't teach me how to make it and my Aunt never learned how to sew. It is worn enough I don't want to risk completely destroy it, and I have been looking for quite a few years now to find a tutorial!! Your is amazing! You even answered what I was worried about and that is the Y seam! I am still a beginner so I will have to probably build up to thing but I am so happy to have found this! Thank you!

[@virginiakey7137]

I am making a quilt for all my grands (5). Also, my two daughters & sister make a total of 8. I have finished only 4, I don’t have a lot of time to sew. My oldest grandson wants the lone star on a black background like yours. I have my fabric, and pattern & I am anxious to start. Thank you for your tutorials, you have taught me so much. I have sown for years, but never quilt-making. You are a great teacher. I made your simplicity quilt pattern for my sister. I am attaching a picture. Grandma Ginnie from Alabama💕

[@virginiakey7137]

Could not load the pictures.

[@kathleenmcguire3651]

This quilt pattern was what got me interested in quilting and never having made any quilt before I blithely bought fabrics and tried to follow the pattern I had. What a disaster!!! It almost made me quit thinking about quilting. But a friend who I didn't know was a quilter, straightened me out and got me started a basic simple quilt and I have never looked back. But this tutorial has inspired me to try the Lone Star Pattern again and I think with your pattern & tutorial I should be OK. Can't wait to start!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!

[@terrikirby6548]

I have never done this always wanted to and I'm looking forward to the free pattern so I can do it your way you make it look very easy thank you

[@brileenwilliams3554]

I love how you break the patterns down and simplify the cutting and piecing techniques so that I can create the quilts in your videos.

[@kristincetti8709]

I have been on KZbin for many years and never left a comment - but your videos make seemingly complex quilt tops so clear. Thank you for your beautiful projects and wonderful instruction!

[@mgs783]

Donna you hit this one out of the park‼️ It’s fantastic and the black background makes the colors pop beautifully! The turquoise binding also makes the quilting design compliment the total quilt. I just love your creativity and ingenuity to retool the making of the Loan Star diamonds. Your creativity,enthusiasm and modesty is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your technique and pattern❣️

I will add one however, you are like a friend to us all because we can feel how much you want us to succeed by giving so generously all the amazingly intelligent and wise advices in executing all of your art work. Thank you so very much for being who you are. Roseline, Québec

[@anitavisram8346]

Wow Donna how wonderful is this quilt. I love making quilts but i am a novis. I am very reluctant to do free arm swells on a finished quilt. I have always wanted to do a lone star quilt but was afraid of starting one. Your tutorial has given me encouragement to start one to see how I get on. I wish I could pop into your store it would be heaven. We don't have many fabric stores in the UK so I mostly buy my fabrics and jelly rolls on line. But even then it's not like browsing in a store like Jordan fabrics. Many thanks. Anita x

[@bethanytaylor65]

I’m a new quilter and I am doing this! My first big diamond is finished and is beautiful! I love tutorials such as this that includes tips and tricks. A lot of tutorials don’t include that so thank you!

[@sharonaerneckeaitchison4500]

I have always loved a Lone Star ~ never would attempt it ... too complicated. But your method has convinced me that it is VERY doable!!! WOW!

I love you telling us step by step. Thanks for free patterns too.

[@marvelouscollection]

I love to watch your videos, no one explains like you Donna, you are amazing!!! ❤

After watching your video of the lone star quilt, I had to make this quilt myself! Thank you for all the helpful hints and tips to make this easier to understand and accomplish this quilt!❤

We are still watching it and you and your husband are wonderful. I'm so glad someone told me about you. I have printed out the pattern and I'm going to try and make it. Thank you so much. I love the way you show how to do a quilt. You don't waste a lot of time and you make it so interesting. Thanks again.

[@ladyglenniskorsman-delboux5540]

I have made your large star many times and by accident I found that if you join the lower end to the top end when cutting out ,you end up with a piece big enough to make a small bonus quilt ❤

[@chippewagirl7299]

Yes, Donna, that Lone Star is beautiful.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

absolutely stunning! And Matt was right I love the black background. And I think the turquoise blue quilting thread just sets it off it gives it that little hint of Dimension that you would want on a flat background.

[@courtneyblock6795]

Hey Donna I just want you to know that thanks to your tutorial and precise instructions I finally attempted to make this star quilt. I have been wanting to for a long time but was always nervous about all the bias and getting it to lay flat. After watching your video and seeing all your little tricks, I started mine. Its half done and turning out nice and flat and beautiful. Thanks again for another great lesson.

[@carenallen5841]

Love the way you sew the black material together..instead of square ..impressed

[@gamadebdegamadebde]

Wow, Wow, Wow. No bias and no Y seams. Have started on the wallhanging for 4th of July, hope Matt will make some red, white and blue jelly rolls this 2021 year. Also have a new grandbaby coming in September and now know what I want to make for a nice crib quilt. So easy compared to the old Texas star I made years ago that has never layed flat in the center. Wow again and thank you.

[@joaneldridge1048]

That is just so beautiful, I think I'm building my courage to do the famous Lone Star. Who else but the Jordans would have thought to make 1/2 of the star branches the same? Genius! Matt called it with the black background. Thank you.

[@maryhickey8994]

This tutorial is amazing! I appreciate the way you explain what you are doing and why you are doing it a particular way. I also appreciate your instructions on how to fix a seam that is not sewed correctly. Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for this tutorial! I am new ti seeing snd never made any quilts but with your tutorial it gave me the confidence to try my hand at it and I’m so happy I was able to complete a queen size lone star quilt with a patriotic theme. It is an anniversary gift for my daughter and son-in-law who is a veteran. Thank you so much! I am now currently working on the double wedding ring for me and my husband’s anniversary.

[@nancypease8487]

Beautiful. You always do an outstanding job of teaching the finer points about the way the grain runs, how the fabric will stretch and how to properly iron or not iron. Love that you did this with no Y seam, makes this less daunting for beginners...thank you. Love watching your videos, you a fantastic teacher.

Instead of *Pressing* LOL Now, the "Lone Star Quilt" you did, Absolutely Amazing!!! You've explained everything perfectly!! I feel confident enough to where I can make this ONE!! Might do it in lighter colors or one color in various shades with a Dark Grey background. I'll send you photos when I get it made Thank You Very Much!!

[@HRHDMKYT]

This is fabulous, Donna, thanks for the wonderful tutorial and all the extra tips to ensure we can do it ourselves! I think I'd add about 2" or 3" of the black background to the sides, and maybe between the star and border, just to let that diamond-star centre really shine. You're right, the long-arm quilting really adds texture. Thanks also for including instructions on how to enlarge this quilt. I am definitely adding this one to my "Quilts to Make" list !! Hoping to one day win the lottery and head on down to Grant's Pass, Oregon to have a shopping spree in your gorgeous new enlarged store. ~Diana from Toronto
