Stringing up stars on the design wall

A dig through the solids box and a bit of fun with my new 60 degree diamond ruler
resulted in four string stars

Here's a larger view, with black diamonds between the stars.
I've figured out how to do the Y seams
but I'm not sure how I get all these diamonds into a rectangle shape.

I'm linking up with design wall Mondays over at Patchwork Times.

WOW! this is so pretty. I've been contemplating a quilt like this - thanks for the inspiration! I have the fabric and the ruler, now to find the time - LOL! Happy stitching!

Your stars are lovely! Look at some tumbling block patterns for ideas for carrying your diamonds out to a square edge.

beautiful. I was just thinking about 60degree diamonds this morning, and considering making the triangles instead to avoid those Y's...

These look great! They remind me of your spider web quilt.
