Do you know this pattern?
#21
I checked out the links and patterns everyone suggested and found that there are two versions. One is made using trapizods (and they sell a special ruler for this pattern). The quilt I orginally made (and posted above) was made with half square triangles, not the trapizods and I tracked that pattern down to Fons & Porter. It was in an old magazine, but they still sell the pattern online. The half square triangle pattern was super easy because you can use the thangles type paper. I'm already in my quilting room sorting through my fat quarters! Can't wait to start sewing.

Hunter Star. Besides all the patterns available, there is a ruler for making this quilt easier than cutting all the half sq traingles. Have fun what ever way you make this quilt.

This company has a the hunters Star pattern using half square triangles and it is sooooo much easier than the traditional way. I saw this at my LQS and was instantly hooked. It is simple to do with the Thangles pack but can also be done with just some hst. Just graph it out and break it down into triangles within the block. I have even made a miniature of the pattern this way. I have always loved this pattern but until I tried it with the triangles I thought it was too complex.
Also here is the book I have on this pattern and I find it very easy to use.
