Supergiant Hunters Star Quilt {A New Pattern}
After making my
Giant Hunter’s Star quilt
, it occurred to me that I could make the block even bigger. What would it look like to have just one big hunter’s star for a quilt top? I started it immediately and set a timer to see how long it would take. Two hours later I had a Supergiant Hunters Star quilt top.
Just like the
Giant Hunter’s Star
, the Supergiant Hunter’s Star quilt requires only two cuts of fabric for the quilt top: two yards of a focal print and two yards of coordinating fabric make a 68″ square quilt. This pattern is perfect for those large, gorgeous prints that you can’t bear to cut up.
It’s also pretty great to start and finish a quilt top in less than two hours. That part makes it great for gifts.
I quilted mine like I did my
Flight Quilt
years ago, in a spiral starting at the center of the quilt. I don’t think I would do it again, though. All that fabric cut on the bias in the center didn’t love having me move it around in circle after circle. I created a bit of a ripple in the center of the quilt. Oops. I’ve since blocked the quilt and it’s a lot better, but be warned. The spiral quilting looks cool on this quilt but it came at a cost!
The pattern for the
Supergiant Hunter’s Star quilt
is available in my
Etsy shop
.
The pattern is technically called the Giant Hunter’s Star because I combined the two patterns into one, giving you instructions for two quilts at the price of one!
Two yards each of two coordinating fabrics and you can make either quilt.
I love all the “twos” in this project: two fabrics, two yards, two patterns, two hours… I might need to make another!
