Hidden Star Retreat Star
I was asked if I have a pattern for the Hidden Star Quilt …ummmm, nope. (Inside my head: Ummmm. I made it up. I designed it. I bet I can tell someone how!)
So, Ta-Da, our first tutorial is the Hidden Star Quilt Tutorial. It’s so easy! It is nothing more than an 8 by 8 grid. Squares and HST (Half Square Triangles)
Let’s get started!

Once everything is cut out it’s just a matter of laying it out. I do it row by row. I sew my HSTs together as I go across each row.
Then, add a border. Quilt and Bind! Ta-Da!
