LOVE your quilt, do you do the HST method to make it. More info please on how to construct it or a link. I do scrap quilts and am cutting a bunch of fabrics as layer cakes. When I have enough fabrics cut want to start one of the Hunters Star.

Yes, I did HST's. I didn't really have a pattern but if you google it you can find a free picture of one and you just make your HST's and look at the picture and assemble. Have fun!

Check out the double slice layer cake on Missouri Star Quilting Company on You Tube. It is very easy and works up beautifully in batiks. Be sure to have a variety of lights, mediums, and darks for good contrast.
This is my suggestion also. I have made a whole lot of quilts using the double slice from Jenny.

I think you posted the wrong picture. That picture is a carpenter's star, not a Hunter's star. The best Carpenter's Star pattern, imho, is Four hour quilt from Quilt Frog. Quiltfrog.com I use the Craftsy Magic 8 method of making HST's. I have made a full size and a baby quilt with this pattern. It is my go to if I am in a time crunch.

Sea glass or orange peel would work nicely with batiks

Thank you for the info as that is really the one I want to make.

Grandma Mary, I did/am considering the quatrefoil. I am being a cheepo and did not want to purchase any additional fabric. I would need to purchase the light background. Can I mix batiks and a simple high quality white muslin or a white on white? I seldom use batiks, thus the questions.

Beautiful quilt.

Of there are so many choices for the Sea Glass but I think it is the colors that appeal to me! I fall victim to beautiful colors WAY too often. Thanks for the idea.

Thank you everyone for the ideas. Still no firm, grab my heart and start cutting pattern. So, for me that means, set it aside and work on something else for a while. I have another colleague who will be getting a Delectable Mountains quilt and I can get that started. (She is a skier, so she gets the mountains quilt.)

Yes, you certainly may mix batiks with a white on white. Once the quilt is done, I'd recommend washing it with a few color catchers to pick up any excess dye that might be on the batiks. I'm working on a quilt right now that mixes batiks with regular cotton fabric.
