I guess I am a bit surprised that it made the cover if a national magazine....seems like a "lazy" way of doing a great design......jmho

I'm glad you said it first, lol. I was thinking the same thing.

I can't help; but I also got my issue today and also love the quilt on the cover. Looks too hard for me to do.

I like the look of the Hunter's Star but have shied away from it. Gem State, yours looks great & with your description, I think I could do it. Thank you

I have always been a little apprehensive about doing this, BUT they came out perfectly and were even easier to work with to get my corners matched! It was a fun project and went very quickly. I can hardly wait to start on the two color quilt!

This method is easy to understand after looking at the picture. That one is done so well, it is hard to see the seams in the HST's. But when I saw them, the light bulb went on.

Hunter's Star... I just made a queen size one. The one on the cover is multi colors. I made mine a 3 color: plain white, plain chocolate brown & a very small dotted design brown & white. They look totally different... and no raw edges. I used all 1/2 triangles except for a( I think it was) a 10 inch square for the body part... loved putting it together. Went together without a hitch...

I went out and bought the magazine because I liked it so much. I think I am going to get the Go die and make it from that. I really hate cutting pieces!

One question. I went to the color option website and found a picture of All For Fall. I love the pumpkin design. (the one with the word pumpkin on it). I can't find it in the magazine and the one that gives the pattern does not have the pumpkin word with the cute labels! Anyone know where the pattern can be found?

OK. Guess I wasn't watching close enough. Somehow I went from Oct/14 issue to Oct/11 issue. Checked my old magazines and sure enough I had the 2011 issue. Now I can make this really cute wall hanging!!!
