Hunter Star Here is a new star for me, the Hunter Star. A friend made a whole quilt of this block, and I liked the star, so I've written up my own directions for it. I hope you'll like this star for your star sampler. Check your measurements very carefully. Each block should measure 12 1/2 inches when it is finished. Accuracy from beginning to end will assure that your blocks come out perfectly. Measure carefully, sew carefully, and you will have a perfect block. For the hunter star block you will need two contrasting star colors and the a background- from all three fabrics cut four 3 7/8 inch squares from your background cut four 3 1/2 inch squares This block is made up of a lot of diagonal half squares. (You can find directions with diagrams for making diagonal half squares by following this link. .) You need to use all the 3 7/8 inch squares to make diagonal half squares. You will need four diagonal half-squares of each one of these combinations. Make two of each row, and assemble your Hunter Star as shown above. Your finished star should measure 12 1/2 inches.
