Default So aggravated with myself

Even though I've sworn off buying new quilting magazines, I gave in today at the grocery store. A really pretty scrappy Hunter's Star on the cover of October's American Patchwork & Quilting caught my eye. Now this is one of those magazines they encase in plastic, so you can't look through it until you buy it.

Of all things, the diamonds are raw-edge appliqued with a straight stitch onto the background triangles. IMO, that technique is okay for a wall quilt but I'd never make a bed quilt that way.

Oh well, guess I can use the picture as inspiration to make a Hunter's Star the old-fashioned way.
