I tried out my new hunter star die today. I cut my fabric strips at 4 inches and ran enough to complete one full block. It took only seconds to have all the pieces where if I had to cut them with the ruler, it would have taken much longer!
Sewing them together took longer then it should have. I did not have the scan 1/4 inch perfected and therefore my blocks did not measure out correctly.
Then I had a little oops on this block
Once I got past the minor issues, the block came together nicely. It measures only about 12 1/4 when it should measure 12 1/2. I will work on that pesky scant quarter inch tomorrow.
I love this die and will be making a quilt with the blacks and grays. It will take no time at all to cut them out and get them stitched. This die is a must have in your collection!
Happy quilting,
Lynn
