It was in an old magazine, but they still sell the pattern online. The half square triangle pattern was super easy because you can use the thangles type paper. I'm already in my quilting room sorting through my fat quarters! Can't wait to start sewing. :)

I dunno, but I've seen it before, it sure is pretty!

Thanks Ube Quilting for reminding me of Roolen's tutorial. I want to try this one day. Need to make a folder on this computer called bucket list. So many ideas and so little time.

Great quilt! Thanks for sharing. Glad someone could tell you what pattern it was. I'm going to mark the pattern and maybe try it later.

My quilt guild is doing the Rapid Fire Hunter's Star (by Deb Tucker) at retreat this summer. Can't wait to use the rulers I bought last summer.

Hunter Star. Besides all the patterns available, there is a ruler for making this quilt easier than cutting all the half sq traingles. Have fun what ever way you make this quilt.
|
No wonder you get compliments - this is beautiful!
|
Its a Hunters Star, which is on my to-do list. You made a beautiful quilt!

This company has a the hunters Star pattern using half square triangles and it is sooooo much easier than the traditional way. I saw this at my LQS and was instantly hooked. It is simple to do with the Thangles pack but can also be done with just some hst. Just graph it out and break it down into triangles within the block. I have even made a miniature of the pattern this way. I have always loved this pattern but until I tried it with the triangles I thought it was too complex.
Also here is the book I have on this pattern and I find it very easy to use. http://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Star-Qu.../dp/1571202102 http://thangles.com/projectpacks/orionstar.html |
