I used to never use pins, and my results were... interesting... I finally came across a few videos (a couple of years ago) where Kimberly talks about using tons of pins, and thought I'd try it. When I first started pinning, it took up a lot of time, but the results were worth it. Now my pinning takes up almost no time, and my work is better than ever. Anyway, whenever I see Kimberly talking about pinning, it makes me think about my early days of quilting. I might have quit had it not been for Kimberly and these videos! Haha!
This may be the answer to my prayers! I love Hunter's Star, but, do not care for the half-square triangle version. This method appears to solve the problem! Bravo! Can't wait to try this out! Thank you!!!
Thank you Kimberly for another great tutorial. I would sew a half inch away from the seam allowance when sewing the large corners on and then I would have half square triangles for another project and not as much waste. I am going to try this method for the block. It has been one that I wanted to try but thought it would be too difficult.
Me too. I used the Rapid Fire Hunter's star template by Deb Tucker. Less waste than this method, easy and it makes a bunch of blocks at one time. But this method looks fun too, just don't want that much waste.
Sharon Bultman if you want to make another smaller quilt using the same fabrics it's great. I was simply offering an additional method. There are dozens out there to make Hunters Star.
I don't understand how anyone could give this video a "thumbs down". I think people just WANT to be negative! Shameful... Very well done, Fat Quarter Shop 😉
Really enjoyed your tutorial, I would love to try this simple way of doing the Hunter's Star. Watching your tutorial, helped me think I can do this! Thank you
Hey, your method is actually the easiest. I used to think Hunter's Star is out of my ability since it's so complicated. Thank you for this tutorial. Now I really want to do it.
I have made 3 Hunters Star quilts using 3 different techniques... I am ready to try this one ... Looks so much easier and NEATER when finished... Thank you
This is absolutely AMAZING! I keep looking at how easy this Hunter Star Block is. You don’t have to cut the small littles pieces of diamond shapes, or the isosceles which can stretch. Ugh! But this is fantastico!!!👌❤️👌
Hummm.... I'm doing a hunter star quilt right now using the half square triangle method this looks so much easier I might have to rethink the whole quilt and just ditch the fabric and go with your method thank you so much for this
...for those who have been quilting for years, we assume no fabric goes to waste or is thrown out..that is just a 'given'; the smaller triangle pieces can be sewn together to form a HST, and the larger one as well; this goes without saying, .... we assume this happens behind the scenes and does not need to be mentioned as this is not what the tutorial is about...neat block!
Thank you so much for the free pattern. I am working on a Hunter Star quilt and have been doing it with pieces and I can’t seem to get them perfect. This is such a help. You are totally awesome!
Glue basting is a great way to match intersections and stabilize bias edges. Not good if you like to press open. I get great results. Also great for chain piecing. Units stay put; sewist is uninjured (no blood on quilt) ; seams align perfectly; biased edges stabilized; quick accurate seaming. PS Really interesting way to construct this block.
This technique seems to have the fewest seams, and the pointiest points. I bought the pattern and got a look at the fabric requirements, and had a heart attack. Has anyone done a fabric yardage calculation for the top using only 2 fabrics? There is a lot of waste in the pattern as written using 1/2 yard cuts. I just can't believe it would takeover 7 yards each (14 yards!) of two fabrics to make this quilt top.
The rules that you used for this I have the 9 1/2" square what is the longer ruler you used. thanks you have made the Hunter's Star block so my easier to do.

That sounds right, Sasslette! Here is the playlist if you want to follow along with all the blocks so far: ua-cam.com/play/PLNTabBf7OG9LRf9-DmNLuZRoAW4Adji3b.html
Love Hunter Stars but I don't have a computer to download the pattern. Can I buy a book at quilt shop for that Or where can I order the pattern ??? That is a easy pattern to do . Please help me
I have 2 of these quilt kits. If I follow these instructions am I going to run short of fabric since there is extra waste? I'm afraid to cut into them now.
Hi Janice, the fabric requirements for the full quilt can be found on the pattern here: www.fatquartershop.com/hunters-star-classic-and-vintage-downloadable-pdf-quilt-pattern

Hello Norman! We have a link to the pattern in the description box below the video. Here is a link to the pattern: www.fatquartershop.com/hunters-star-classic-and-vintage-downloadable-pdf-quilt-pattern
I use the Rapid Fire Hunter's Star Template, and it has almost no waste, it's fast, it makes many blocks at one time and the template has multiple sizes on it. It works well. I love the HS block, you can do two color, 3 color, 4 color or scrappy like this one. There are some vids on YT showing the template if you want to see how it works.
Hi Angela! For the corner triangles, you can sew a 1/4" seam on the other side of the cut line and have a finished half-square triangle unit as well. There are always ways you can use up the scraps!
I love the matter of fact way you say it won’t be accurate but that’s how it’s going to be. So freeing thank you.
This is genius! The block comes out perfectly!!! ❤
Such attention to detail!
Absolute best results possible.
Very nice!
Love this block! So much easier than the other Hunter square tutorials!

Thank you Kimberly for your great tutorial in making beautiful Hunter stars much easier way. I should have watched your tutorial first
Love how easy this is compared to other “simple” versions! I am definitely making this one! Thank you Kimberly for all your amazing videos!
Thank you Kimberly for another great tutorial. I would sew a half inch away from the seam allowance when sewing the large corners on and then I would have half square triangles for another project and not as much waste. I am going to try this method for the block. It has been one that I wanted to try but thought it would be too difficult.
Way easier than all those half squares triangles 😍
I just got done making a large Hunters Star quilt. I wish I saw this . So easy!! What a wonderful way of doing it!!
Me too. I used the Rapid Fire Hunter's star template by Deb Tucker. Less waste than this method, easy and it makes a bunch of blocks at one time. But this method looks fun too, just don't want that much waste.
Livinnpjs Not a waste...bonus triangles.
Sharon Bultman if you want to make another smaller quilt using the same fabrics it's great. I was simply offering an additional method. There are dozens out there to make Hunters Star.
Kimberly, you are a treasure!!! I printed this pattern at our local library, I can't wait to give it a try!
I don't understand how anyone could give this video a "thumbs down". I think people just WANT to be negative! Shameful...
Very well done, Fat Quarter Shop 😉
I give it a thumbs down because you have so many different size pieces and then trim and waste too much fabric.
Just found this blog. Love the block. 🥰🇦🇺
Thanks Kimberly for the free block pattern. This quilt is so bright and colorful. Love it!
This is a great block Kimberley - thank you.
Really enjoyed your tutorial, I would love to try this simple way of doing the Hunter's Star. Watching your tutorial, helped me think I can do this! Thank you
Love Kimberly's tutorials! She makes it so easy to do quilts that you may shy away from because they look too involved. Thank you Kimberly. Love FQS
I love how you make blocks, so that a confident quilter can do it!
Hey, your method is actually the easiest. I used to think Hunter's Star is out of my ability since it's so complicated. Thank you for this tutorial. Now I really want to do it.

OM gosh, this is awesome! Love anything V and Co! Thank you Kimberly and crew!
Excellent Kimberly!!! I've been waiting for this!!!
That was an easy way to make this block! I love your tutorials!

Maybe not everyone has been quilting for years....and it only takes a second to tell viewers to save the extra for a hst.
Gorgeous quilt, love the fabrics! You are so cute with your shirt that coordinates with the quilt.
That's lovely!

Tfs! Kimberly, that shirt looks amazing on you!

Amazing Kimberly, as usual!! Thanks!!!
hope to make this one day...thanks for the simplified version :)
This is beautiful and easy I loved it
Love this. I would have done the second seam on the outside half square triangles to save for another project.
Fun!!! Thank you!❤️
Beautiful!
That is amazing!!!!! Thank you sooo much
that quilt is gorgeous!
video and thank you for the pattern.
Tão simples que ficou maravilhoso! ADOREI!!
Love this! Thank you
How smart!
I love it thank you

She owns a quilt store. See Studio 180's method
Sharon Lyman I did the calculations and am piecing the quilt now. Just about 4.5 yards each for a 2-color queen sized quilt, not including borders
At least you can have a lot of big HST from the big square she add up as the last stitch. The white triangle can also be save for other HST.
Muito obrigada 😊
Loved this tutorial! I am not a fan of paper piecing.
The rules that you used for this I have the 9 1/2" square what is the longer ruler you used. thanks you have made the Hunter's Star block so my easier to do.
when Kimberly says, "press towards the dark", does that mean the seam/extra fabric will be underneath the dark fabric side of the block?
Hello Christine, that is correct!

That is a easy pattern to do .
Please help me
Hello Pearlita! You can try checking with your local quilt shop or visit a public library to print our free pattern.
I have 2 of these quilt kits. If I follow these instructions am I going to run short of fabric since there is extra waste?
I'm afraid to cut into them now.
Hello! You should have enough fabric even with the extra waste, we try to be generous with our fabric cuts in quilt kits!
Was trying to find that fabric in fat quarters. Isn't that what you said?
Hi! Fabric requirements can be found on the pattern here: www.fatquartershop.com/hunters-star-classic-and-vintage-downloadable-pdf-quilt-pattern/
i can not find the free downloadable block pattern. The only one that comes up is the one for $5.98 at the shop. Help?
Hi Sue, the free pattern is for one block only and can be found here: static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/FQS-HuntersStar-BlockPattern.pdf
А какой размер получается блока? У меня он кажется очень большой получается
Размер незавершенного блока: 9,5 "х 9,5" www.fatquartershop.com/hunters-star-quilt-block-free-pattern

Beautiful quilt but a lot of fabric waste. TFS
I use the Rapid Fire Hunter's Star Template, and it has almost no waste, it's fast, it makes many blocks at one time and the template has multiple sizes on it. It works well. I love the HS block, you can do two color, 3 color, 4 color or scrappy like this one. There are some vids on YT showing the template if you want to see how it works.
Hi Angela! For the corner triangles, you can sew a 1/4" seam on the other side of the cut line and have a finished half-square triangle unit as well. There are always ways you can use up the scraps!
That's a good idea.
Don't like those to much waste, sorry :-)
Nice instructions, and a bit of waste of fabric.
