The Hunter's Star looks great, then I scrolled down and there was more. Fabulous.  Thanks, Syrinx.

At risk of ruffling feathers, I think that block is Carpenter's Wheel/Star, not Hunter's Star.

No feathers ruffled. I grabbed it out of one of my ancient quilting books where it's called a fancy hunters star. Probably because the central block is a hunters star. I thought the carpenters wheel had to have more rings of the fancy bits, but I may be wrong.

I struggle somewhat with star names as they often have different names for the same block (another book I have calls the hunters star Annie's choice!) so I just went with what the book called it! And it is based on a hunters star block. It's a bit like the nesting square spiral/twisted log cabin name debate I'd guess.

Edit: what a nice website, shall bookmark that for future perusing!

Decisions, decisions....

Decided to Google for ideas on different colourways to see how this block might work. You're right about it being very versatile!
It's a lovely block.
I knew I wanted to use a dark background...(this is an inky blue/black) but took ages to decide what colours to use and how to use them.



Finished this afternoon.

Thank you. :)

I'm constantly surprised by just how difficult it is to choose fabrics...the combinations are truly endless and you never really know how it's going to look until you've finished.
