    Some of my friends and I have shared the ruler so it didn't cost each one of us so much. That might be an idea for you to consider. It does take some getting used to but I've gotten to watch her for about 3 yrs. in a row demonstrate the ruler at Paducah quilt show. You just can't beat the precision and the fact that the blocks are a little big and you get to trim them down to perfect size.

    Thank you all! The quilts posted are wonderful! I have a multi colored batik I am pulling colors from for the stars & to use as the border. It looks like the ruler would be the best way to go. Since I have purchased a Bernina 710, the table for it & a new laptop in the last year I can't justify, to myself, purchasing a die cutter. DH would say 'if it's useful, do it'. Something to think about for next year.

    An additional question similar to Dolphingirl's. Which size ruler? Am I correct that each block is 1/4 of the full block? So if I make the 6" block my finished block would be 12"?

    Sorry can't help with which size. I made this runner using hunter star and did not use a ruler. Can't remember if it was a pattern or my own design. If you think about diagonal join on binding that is how I made the stars. It just takes time too work out sizes and direction.

    I have it & used it for one quilt, so far but plan to do more. Makes a very striking quilt as you can see from the pictures that have already been posted. Beautiful quilts ladies, by the way. Love them all.

    I make my Hunter's Star blocks with my Accuquilt GO. They are so simple and easy to put together.
