Kaye England Drop Dead Gorgeous Pattern!
#11
I don't mind buying specialty rulers for a pattern, the rulers usually save time and make the pattern easier but I won't buy these rulers because they are branded for a cause. I don't want to be reminded of all the sadness every time I use the rulers. I donate to some breast cancer fundraisers but not this way.

I think you all are absolutely right -- I am drawn to the colors and fabrics she has used. That being said, what is the most simple Hunter's Star pattern you have used. I do like the extra triangles she has included.

If you go here, I'll think you'll like what you see and there is the choice of templates or paper piecing.

Go to Kaye England's website and look at the Hunter's Star Pattern. Probably the prettiest one I've seen. However, the description said two of her rulers are Required to make the quilt. I already have so many rulers that I hate to buy two more. But, the quilt pattern sure is pretty! Do any of you know of a Hunter's Star pattern that is this pretty?

As far as I'm concerned, that is another designer to boycott. It makes me so mad when they tell you you HAVE to have a certain ruler to make their design. This is why I quit doing anything with the Fons and Porter name on it. I have a couple rulers that are 4"x something a little longer, and a have a 4 1/2" ruler. There are plenty of hunter's star patterns around, I will use a free one, thank you, and make the rulers I have work.
