Deb Tucker's Rapid Fire Hunter Star
 

I went to the PA Mancuso Quilt show a quite awhile back. Deb Tucker was there, demonstrating her Rapid Fire Hunter's Star. It looked so easy, that I purchased it. As I usually do, I set it aside while I was working on other projects. When I finally got around to it, I looked at the ruler and my eyes rolled up in my head. What was I ever thinking, I forgot how to do the block, and the paper instructions, though very clear, were not making much sense to me at all . Came across Heirloom Creations short videos, and there was the Hunter's star - in 7 easy steps. I watched it, took the computer downstairs, and did the step by step. IT WAS AMAZINGLY SIMPLE. I made the 10 inch and the 7 inch.....stunning. Sorry, no pics and I am good with needle, thread and fabric, not so much with technology! I think this has become my new favorite block.

Glad you were able to figure it out! :)

That is on my list..thanks for the tip. I will definitely give that a look!

Thanks for the push to check this pattern out:)

Thank you so much for the link! This is something I've been thinking about trying and am really glad Deb Tucker developed the ruler. For some reason I find this video easier to understand.

I think this is a link to it:

Just wondering if anyone has made a Hunter's Star this way and also with the Accuquilt cutter and can compare the two approaches.

Thanks for posting this. I watched the rapid- fire video 3x and couldn't get it. The pattern has such great possibilities, too. I was thinking of paper-piecing it, although that might not be the best way.

That is really a good tutorial! Thanks for the link.

I've made 2 baby quilts and a table topper with the rapid fire. I thought I'd never figure it out, but I followed the directions which came with it step by step and it is one of my favorite go to quilt patterns.

I've had the ruler for years and every time I look at it I wonder what I was thinking, lol. Thank you for sharing this information; I really appreciate it!
