QUILT HUNTER’S STAR
There have been several people interested in how I made my Hunter’s Star quilt that I shared on the blogger’s quilt festival. There are probably many ways to do a Hunter’s Star pattern, but this is how I did mine. First, I highly suggest you print out this pic that I created in EQ – the arrangement of the little HST’s can be confusing! (HST’s = half square triangles) Now, you will need six 5” charm squares for each block (the block will be 9 1/2” after assembly with a finished size of 9” in your quilt). 3 charms need to be the same print/color and 3 charms need to be the same solid. I highly recommend that you spray starch these blocks before you start sewing/cutting. Take one of each charm and set them aside for now. Take two pairs of charms and layer one print/dark on top of the light/solid. Stitch around on all 4 sides of the charms with a 1/4” seam. Now, cut diagonally both ways to create 4 triangles on these squares Then, take each triangle and open them up and press carefully to create 8 HST’s. Now comes the trimming! Square each little triangle up so they end up 2 3/4” square. This rule is an 8” square bias ruler from ‘That Patchwork Place’ Love this ruler! Now arrange them so you can assemble your block! refer to the picture you printed out. Notice that the 3 ‘inner’ on each corner all point in the same direction. Dark toward the dark block, light toward the light block. The outer corners are the only one’s that are rotated. Sew the little HST’s into pairs and then into the 4 patches. Then, sew the triangle patches to each solid charm and then the two pairs together. and now you have your finished Hunter’s Star block! You should be able to get 36 of these from 3 charm packs to create a 54×54” quilt top with a 6×6 block layout. Or, add a 4th charm pack and border the 36 Hunter’s Star blocks with the whole charm squares to create a 63×63” quilt top like I did below. You will have leftovers for piecing a backing as well if you do it this way. If you wanted to use all 40 charms from each pack on the front, you could do a 5×8 block layout and end up with a 45”x72” quilt top without the 4th charm pack. You could then add the 4th charm pack and bring that up to 54”x81” which could be a single bed size or a nice size couch/lap quilt. this quilt is now available for sale in my Etsy shop (with new better pics)

This is my guild Black and White Challenge entry for our quilt show in April. Members were given 3 black and white print fat quarters as well as were asked to pick a marker out of a bag without looking. The marker colour is our accent colour to add to the quilt. We could also add solid black, solid white and more black and white print fabrics. Here is the marker I picked and was happy to have found fabric that matched really well. There was no size requirements for this challenge so I only made a small wall hanging that is 36” x 36”. I used the Rapid Fire Hunters Star ruler to cut out the pieces and was really impressed with how it worked. I stitched in the ditch then added the feather motifs. I didn’t quilt anything in the black and white print fabrics as the prints are quite bold. Used white So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting. We had about 40 members buy kits for this challenge and I have seen a lot of them being worked on at our retreats and UFO days, even a few done and shown at Show and Tell. I’m looking forward to seeing them all together at the show, it will be a great display!
