Working on WIP's - Hunter Star Quilt

I didn't feel like working with long pieces of fabric ( borders) this morning so I pulled one of my WIP boxes off the shelf instead. I have always loved the look of the Hunter Star block but it seemed so tedious. I found this pattern about a year ago and would work on it in spurts. The pattern makes the block easy and lot's of fun.
The fabric is from an old Moda line-Folkloric by Figtree and the cream is probably from P&B Textiles. I love their white on whites, etc.
I am going to make it 4 by 4 and add a small cream border and a larger red border. It should make a pretty good sized lap quilt.

I am almost finished with my quilt from yesterday. Need to add the last borders and load it up.
I hope that everyone has has a good day!

  2. Not at all....I ordered several Hunter's Star patterns and this was the easiest to do. It's actually really fun to make and I love only having to chose 2 colors. Here is the link: http://www.yellowhousequilter.com/patterns.htm

  4. I've bookmarked that pattern link cuz I don't like to do stars at all. Maybe it will change my mind

    I have lots of that same figtree fabric. In the red/green and tan/green. It's so pretty and looks really striking with the white -- especially that one -- love those little tone on tone paisleys.
