Hunter Star
Background
Barbara had asked Stuart if he'd like another quilt. He said yes, in red and white, and suggested the Hunter Star quilt pattern.
Barbara had a look on line, found at least 2 different approaches/patterns, and wildly different amounts for the fabric required. She eventually found and purchased a pattern she liked (on the return from a trip to Whidbey Island in May). But if was for a 27.5 x 27.5 inch quilt, with no info on fabric requirements for a larger quilt. Stuart needs a queen sized quilt.
So we both took a crack at figuring out how much fabric we likely need. We also asked some others, like Catherine Hanna, for there estimates.
The pattern Barbara used was purchased at Tangled Threads Quilt Shop, Lynden, WA.
Hunter Star
Here's the quilt laid out on our bed prior to mailing it east. But do note, that we do not put quilts on the bed covering the pillows. This was done for this shot because of the size of the quilt.
A shot of the Hunter Star quilt on Margaret's and Stuart's bed, a close up of a star block, a close up of a hunter's star, a close up of a section of 'arrow heads', and a look at the backing fabric are also available.
