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.

At first I never noticed the "arrow heads". That is until Barbara pointed them out. Now I can't look at the quilt without noticing them.
A shot of the Hunter Star quilt on Margaret's and Stuart's bed, a full view, 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.
