Hi guys! Time to face my fears. We're making hunter's star quilt blocks in 3 different ways. Let's see how this goes... Wish me luck! And let me know which is your favourite. Enjoy, Sandy

I am a "star" person so of course I'm binge watching all of the videos ✌🏻♥️

I am too, totally!!

I like the first one best. To me, it looks more like the original.

Yes, it's the more traditional version 😀

Great tutorial on the traditional Hunter’s Star block. Yes a 24” ruler is a great addition to your arsenal. It is so helpful in cutting strips. A 12.5” square ruler is also great to add. It is fabulous for squaring up blocks.

Thank you! I'll have to look into it, it doesn't make sense to keep using such a small one.

I was thinking I could try with my house ruler because I don’t know what to do with it lol thank you so. Much ❤

Let's do it!

I'm always amazed how many ways a person can make the Hunter's Star (it's my favorite block). I've only made 2 quilts using the Hunter's Star. First time I make it was using Deb Tucker's Hunter's Star ruler, 2nd time I made the block I used the AccuQuilt cut and die for this block, it's my favorite way by far. Great explanations on making the block.

Hi. I know, it's so versatile! Well, I imagine the AccuQuilt made life much easier because the issue usually lies with the cutting of the pieces... 😀

Hunters star has been one on my list to do. Once I am finished with my scrap log cabin. I will probably trying first version.

I did! So worth it! 🥰 thank you

With the 2nd way you could batch sew several color square and background square units at the first step and mix and match for a scrappy mix

Привет, дорогая! Сколько смотрю, столько испытываю удовольствие от просмотра и подачи информации. Посмотрела у многих квилтеров сборку именно этого узора, у каждого своя технология, последовательность. В данной работе понравилось использование много цветов и несколько вариантов расскроя, получилось насыщено, по-осеннему😊, ярко. ❤❤🎉🎉

Hi. That's the beauty of quilting, you can make the same quilt block and always make it different from other people, add you personal touch. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😀

Best Hunter Star tutorial ever!

If you do, let ne know how it went!

I'm in love with this block but have now seen 5 different ways to make it. I like the first one best but the 3rd one looks easier. I think I would struggle lining up the half square triangles on the 3rd one.

I have noticed do you tear your fabric instead of cutting it And I love your videos, please keep them coming you make it so easy for us to follow. Thank you so much, Sandy.

I tear my fabric any chance I get hehehe. Some fabrics are too soft for that and will bend, so those I have to cut. But the sturdier ones, I tear. Thank you 😍

Such a beautiful pattern! 💖 Thank you for sharing. 😊🍁🍃🍊

I like the first one , so far anyway, but I love all the different ways and your ideas are so great, especially if you don't have a lot of large squares to work with! Thank you.

I use the Accuquilt hunter star die cut. No dog ears. Rarely needs squared up. These alternatives are interesting.

it is! I have been learning watercolor painting since January and it's the first thing I've learned from scratch in a very long time. It's both scary and exciting, learning new things is awesome!! 😁

I don't know what you are using to iron on, but it is noisy, and doesn't look like it is even flat like an ironing surface. You should get a wool cutting mat along with your 24" ruler. You will love it. The quilt block is beautiful.

This video is older, I now have a proper wool mat and I love it. Thanks

I applaud your showing the different methods, but the end result of the last two was not good. The first method is better--however, it does produce bias on the cut pieces. I prefer Deb Tucker's methods for making this beautiful block, and HST's are never a good substitute for a diamond. A square up ruler is important to have to control the overall cut to include diagonal alignment on the entire piece which a rectangular ruler cannot accomplish.

You need a better pressing mat. Without a hard backing its not worth doing.

Hi! You're right! I've since purchased a wool mat and I notice such a difference!!

You need to be more clear on the pressing, i cant tell what seam is going in which direction. When you say the pressing must be crisp it looks like th block in your hands hasnt been pressed at all.

She said at the very beginning of the video to always press to the dark side.

I'm sorry but you'd have even less fear if you watched Jenny Doan with Missouri Star. Maybe you have, not sure. Jenny's Hunter Star is so much easier. Nice video though.

I have a pile of taco shells you can iron on if you want… What in the actual… How could anything be pressed “flat” on that “thing” It’s irritating just to watch. Spend the 25 dollars and buy a board.
