Welcome to our Hunter Star block swap. We will be making scrappy Hunter Star blocks 8 ½” unfinished using the easier piecing method pictured below. This is an example only to show the pattern. You do not need to use a ‘gold’ or yellow print for half of the Hunter’s Star block.

Please use one print for half of the block shown in ‘gold’ and a neutral light-colored fabric for the other half of the quilt block. The goal is a good light/dark contrast. Please check the internet for examples of Scrappy Hunter’s Star quilts for ideas and inspiration!

Print fabric: (same print per block)
4 ½” square

Light colored fabric: (same print per block)
4 ½” square

There are lots of choices available for the light side of our Hunter’s Star blocks! Think: neutrals or small prints with a lighter background.


8 Half Square Triangles (HST’s) 2 ½” unfinished from the same print/light background fabric.
