April's Rainbow in Progress

So, this is my first time making a Lone Star Quilt.  Sorry I wasn't able to get all of the star in the photo.  This is photographed on my design board and I can only stand a few feet back from it.  Not really the best placement for a design  board, but I can always check things out from a distance by going outside and looking through the window!  It's interesting to me how a stack of fabrics can translate so differently into a quilt depending upon the design that is chosen.

So what do you think of my first attempts at a Lone Star?  Do you think my points are matching up well enough??  Ha ha, ok, I'll let you in on a little secret.  I made this using a product called Quiltsmart which uses fusible interfacing and clever techniques to help build more complicated quilts faster and more accurately.  I am going to be working on examples of different Quiltsmart products over the next while.  I am so excited about the products that my plan is to trial selling them in my Etsy shop (to Australians) for a while.

I'm deciding on the background color today.  I'm thinking of going with Kona coal...
