I would love to do one of these but it does look complicated, so I guess b4 I start one I had better get the templates... good luck

Do you have her ruler? It is so much easier with the ruler. Instructions with lots of pics come with the ruler. I am in the process of making a hunter's star right now with a 6" finished block. For triangles you need strips 6" wide WOF, for the trapezoids you need strips 1 3/4" wide WOF & for the accents (stars/diamonds) you need strips 2 1/4" wide WOF. This is for a 3 colour block. For my block I have: 1 trapezoid & 1 triangle in the same colour, 2nd trapezoid & triangle in another colour & for the accents -stars/diamonds I have a 3rd colour. This is a little hard to explain here but hopefully this will help. PM me & I may be able to give you some additional help.

Just to add, I have Deb Tucker's ruler & it is a BIG help. When I had problems I just went to her video & it was a huge help also. It is a little more money but well worth it IMHO. I am 1/2 way thru my quilt & really have had no major problems to speak of. Try Deb's video & I am sure that will be a big help.

callen hows the fire situation? Hope much better. We lived 30 years in Thompson manitoba and fires were sure a threat every summer.
As to the block you sure don`t need a special ruler just a 45% I just finished! Boy were those trapezoids ever hard to sew to the diamonds took them apart too many times to count but well worth it.
I feel if you can do this block you can do anything!
Yes pp maybe is the way to go but I wanted to try just cutting but ended up using templates which din`t turn out to bad.

You didn't make your trapezoids wide enough (the blue pieces), that's all. Notice where Roolen put her Companion Ruler in her tutorial.
