[QUOTE=Evie;7609743]Thinking about doing this.

Are the six blocks the same? Or should they be different?

Evie - would love to have you participate! Your blocks should each be different; one red/light background, one purple/light, one yellow/light, etc.

Yes, August 15th is the mail-to-me date.

Here are a few more examples:

One more question: Should we make it a requirement (for consistency) that we use the HST method Jane states in post #1, as opposed to the method shown in Christine's post #13 http://hopefulhomemaker.com/2014/04/...-cake-pattern/ ? I think it would make a big difference if we use two different methods. Yes?

I saw she used a different method. I know you want us to use the method you posted on the first page. I just wanted to show how beautiful a scrappy hunter star would look with light background but all different fabrics for the darker color of the block. I am going to make a block to make sure it measures and looks good enough to swap. Will see if I get the chance tomorrow pulled a muscle in my back cleaning the windows on the outside of the house so the stairs to my sewing room were out of the question today.

Yes, we're using the technique I posted on the first page (the easier technique). 2 4 1/2" squares and 8 2 1/2" HST's.

I've also been wanting to try the Hunter's Star. Sooo count me in. Think I could manage to make 6 each month... Say we make 1 set (6 blocks)... we receive as many sets as we send you?
I love, love the scrappy look...
How many, so far, have signed on?....

Evie

I'm going to make up a draft block using a 10-inch square. If it turns out good enough to swap I'm on board. Jane, I'll let you know by week's end.

I do so love the hunter star and making it scrappy is right up my alley. I have lots of scraps that would lend themselves (bigger ones) to hunter star. Unless I am missing something. I have to make six exactly the same? Could do that as well. Guess I am saying I could do this.

Hi Evie, I'm sure if you look at the first info post, it states that the square is 8.5" unfinished... not 10"...
Happy sewing, Jacquie x
