    Default question regarding Hunter Star pattern

    I fell in love with the Hunters Star pattern I found in my latest Country Woman magazine. I wanted to do my next quilt scrappy. My question is "Will it look right if I keep the light color throughout and do the rest scrappy? It is 12" blocks alternate Hunter Star with 4 patch. Hope I made it clear enough for you to understand what I am trying to do. Thanks for any help you can give.

    as long as there is a light dark contrast in the block you should be fine

    Have a glance at the pictures that come up on google search, it looks like it would work and be exciting when done! https://www.google.ca/search?q=scrap...w=1260&bih=859

    I always go to Google to see examples of photos of quilts-so much inspiration out there and so easy to find it.

    There is a quilt on pinterest called hunter's Rainbow that is scrappy with a constant of black and white and I saw this in I think it was quilt world magazine at one time. It looks great.

    OMG!!! What gorgeous pictures. I google lots of quilty things but just haven't done the Hunter's Star. My small guild in Lincolnton, NC had a workshop,on doing this block using squares and half square triangles - what fun. I also have the rulers from Deb Tucker - haven't tried them - yet!! - but have watched the videos and her demos at quilt shows and it is really easy and very forgiving to some of us less than perfect people��.

    I'm working on one with the mossy oak fabrics (camouflage). So it will be busy. You can google hunter's star many patterns like another QB member mentioned.
