Wow, just beatiful. I have the blocks made and there it sits. I just bought 15 yds. of muslim ( need to wash). I want to try qayg, probably do it in strips.As soon as I finish another project (famous last words,grin).

I decided to just make my stars all follow in line and not worry about the edges. I never did square up the blocks because I was afraid to cut it. That is how badly it was not in line. Yet when I put all the blocks together and just followed the seam line, it worked out. I didn't even need to square it up when I was all done. It was square!!!!! How that happened, heaven only knows.
The added stress of needing it finished for a bridal shower didn't help much either, but it was finished in time. My daughter fell in love with it and wants one for herself. SO I guess the next time I want to get all stressed out over a quilt I think I'll make one for her HAHA!!!! Maybe next time, I'll be problem free.
The pattern is from the Nov/Dec 2005 issue of the Fons & Porter Love of Quilting magazine.
Thanks for looking

This is one of my very favorite patterns. I think it is called the Hunter's Star, I have the pattern and am going to make one soon. I made a little "test" top a couple of years ago, and it is not difficult using Thangles. I only used two colors and it is pretty, but yours is BEAUTIFUL and you should be proud of it. Bravo.
