Yeah, I just finished my Hunter star blocks. Just need to sew them together. I think I've decided to piece half delectable mountain blocks as the border ( still need to learn to make these). Should I put a narrow border around quilt before I add the delectable mountain blocks. Any other suggestions welcomed.
TIA

Hunter's Star is such a nice pattern ... please show us a few of your blocks.
I'd sew them together first to get a feel for it, before determining the borders ... or making your delectable mountains!

Yes, I would think you would want a border before doing a pieced border. After you piece your blocks together play around with how wide you want it to be. I normally like a width of the border to be equal to a part of the block. You may not want it to be too narrow.
