Hi everyone!

I was at a quilting event and there was a lot of chattering about a really cool ruler called Rapid Fire Hunter’s Star. Well, I had to find out what this was all about. You are not going to believe this―Have you ever been afraid of making the Hunter Star block because of the matching in the middle? Not a problem anymore! This Rapid Fire Hunter’s Star ruler makes piecing the block fast and easy. It is based on using strips of fabric. So all those jelly rolls you have around now can be put to good use. It’s easy to use two, three, or four colors in this block with this ruler! 

The ruler comes in two sizes. There is the petite-size ruler for 5″ - 8″ blocks. The larger size makes 7″ – 10″ blocks. Deb Tucker is the “creative kingpin” and she got this right! This is not the only quilt you can make with this ruler. Deb has many other patterns on her website― may I say they’re soooo beautiful too. Instead of me trying to explain how to use this ruler, I would rather you go to www.baysidequilting.com, put Hunter’s Star ruler in the search bar, and  then see a great demo on how to use it (they have Deb’s permission to do this and they did a great job). Then mosey over to Deb’s website, www.studio180design.net and see all of her other products and fabulous patterns. I have two other rulers that Deb has created that I am going to review for you too, but you will have to come back…… The cat needs feeding, so I have to go for now. Everyone stay safe and keep quilting.
