Christmas-y State of Mind

 So it's almost April.  
We still have snow on the ground!  
That's living the high life in Idaho.  

So I can't help but think Christmas-y thoughts. 
Reds. 
Greens. 
Quilts.
 Mmmm. 

Never made a lone star quilt before.  
And yes, you guessed it. 
Now, I want to make dozens of them. 
Super easy. 
(with a good teacher.  Thank you Stitchy poo!!)
 
Once it's all quilted and gorgeous I'll let you in on the big reveal!!
Love that Henna Garden!!

  1. Easy? Really Easy? You mean this? I've always been terrified of the bias edges and the gazillion seams.

  3. Lone Star = rotary cutting, strip piecing, no scary bias edges.
    Maybe I'll walk you all through it someday.
