Several years ago I was unable to use my left arm and was in considerable pain. I was not recovering and the pain medication was not doing it's job. I knew that doing something positive could help the healing process.
When I couldn't sleep I got up at 4 a.m. and thought about making a Lone Star quilt with strips I had already cut. I went to the computer and using the first colors on the palette designed a Lone Star.I pulled out my box of strips and with one arm began sewing them together.
As I did each step, I noticed I was improving enough to do the next step.After making all the points I looked through my fabric collection and finally found the perfect fabric to finish the quilt.
After completing the first quilt top I realized I had the same background print in another color way.
I created this Broken Star using this fabric as my inspiration
I wanted to do this with a fabric that did not have a quarter circle design.
This quilt was done with a fabric with a linear color striation.
Hope you'll enjoy this puzzle.

These are awesome!
The energy to work under such a handicap is admirable. And so is the result! I love them both, and the 3-D-effect of the second is just stunning!
Simply beautiful - and one handed too.
They are spectacular but I laughed out loud at the last one. I used that very same fabric in my version of Karen Stone's Unusual Lone Star about 12 years ago!
