Aster Blast: page 70. Make the "fastest Lone Star in the West" using Lone Star Diamond Grid interfacings from Quiltsmart. The Lone Star Quick Kit produces a 38" star and is perfect for making Aster Blast. Fabric requirements will differ from those listed in our pattern, so read the manufacturer's recommendations before buying yardage. Plan to quilt by machine because the construction method and fused interfacing add thickness. Interfacing sheet sets for making a 19" star and a 56" star are also available.
