February Scrappy Hunters Star block swap
1 Attachment(s)
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.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]565650[/ATTACH] 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. We will be making these blocks in sets of six. You may send as many as 4 sets of six blocks (24 blocks) to be swapped. Please PM me with: Your screen name Your real name Address/city/state/zip The mailing deadline is FEBRUARY 15[SUP]TH[/SUP]. Please include $6.80 In postage for a return Padded Flat Rate Envelope. Please label your quilt blocks. Any blocks not labeled will be returned unswapped. BE SURE to include your full mailing address. As long as we have at least 8 swappers we will be making and swapping Hunter Star blocks each month so we all will have a great scrappy assortment for our quilts!! |
Happy New Year everyone! I worked NYE and NY day and now we're back at it. Yeah!!!
As some of you may know, I moved in December so please PM me for my new mailing address. |
What colors do you wish us to use in lieu of the gold? Are there any colors that you specifically do want? I'm really interested in joining in.

I am thrilled to say that NWBusymom and I pooled our blocks together to get this wedding quilt completed. NWBusymom will be quilting with a Baptist Fan. I had the fun of piecing it. It is 80 x 80 but could not get the whole thing in the photo
