I thoroughly enjoyed the you tube video and totally understood it--which is pretty good for a newbie...

Where do I get it and how much is that cool ruler? It sure looks like it will make my life a whole lot easier..

This is the first time I've ever heard of a Rapid Fire Hunter's Star. I've heard of Hunter's Star. I watched the video; very interesting! This would sure be a good hands on class. Would like to try working with one before committing:-)

(Thanks, Santa) Maybe when things slow down after Christmas I'll have a little time to quilt for myself. Love your blocks, Sunnie!!
I was lucky to meet Deb Tucker too at the Des Moines Quilt Show this year. I really liked her and she was so personable. I already use her Tucker Trimmer so when she showed me how easy her new ruler was for the Hunter's Star I was hooked. Surprise huh since I am a gadget/ruler lover. She is so nice and always trying to figure out easier ways for us to make our quilts.

I love this ruler! I made a quilt using this back in June and you can see a picture of it on my blog. Here's the post.

Sold! I need all the help I can get! I have the feeling that you're just being modest, but if the ruler helped you make something that precise, it's definitely something I need, too.

Oh, that's really beautiful! Was your experience with the ruler as smooth as Sunnie's? Very nice quilt!

I also took a class to make this pattern. I actually got 2 18" blocks put together in the class and now it has been so much time that I need the class again to finish the quilt. Our teacher was excellent also but too much time since I did any work on it.
