The Hunters Star baby quilt is washed and drying on the rack. I'll take some photos of it tomorrow. In the meantime, my thoughts have turned to the next baby quilt for another friend.

Fat Quarter Shop had this pattern in their latest email and it inspired me to create the above. It uses a 4.5" HST from the 12" Hunters Star collection and 4.5" sashing.
