The Creative Grids® Hunter’s Star Trim Tool designed by Deb Heatherly Grids will make creating these wonderful blocks easy and stress-free.

Using simple squares and rectangles, and the trimming lines on the tool, you’ll have Hunter’s Star blocks made in three different sizes in no time at all. Add some creative color placement, and a huge variety of Hunter’s Star quilts are all yours.

Deb Heatherly has designed several patterns that showcase this tool:

Setting the blocks on point and adding a corner post to the sashing creates a stunning secondary design.

Nine Carat Quilt by Sarah Fulks

All you need is ten fat quarters and a favorite background fabric to create this stunning quilt. It is easier than you think! Piece large nine-patches together. The magic happens when you sub-cut them and sew them back together in a different configuration.

The instructions are written for an over-sized throw but you can add or delete blocks to make the quilt of your dreams. You may even learn a new technique along the way.

Purr-sonality by Deb Heatherly

Just five 10-inch and five 5-inch squares are needed to make the blocks in this quilt. What a great way to learn how to use the Creative Grids Cat’s Cradle Tool. The blocks are created with squares and rectangles and then trimmed to size. The trimming creates the triangles, it’s magic!

Applique a cat in the corner or use holiday themed fabric and applique leaves, holly, snowflakes, pumpkins…the possibilities are endless. You won’t be able to just make one! The Cat’s Cradle Tool is required to make the pattern.

Flexible Floe Runner by Jill Blair

Flexible Floe Runner is made from one charm pack or (36) 5″ squares. The cover runner features neutrals for a modern look. But I would love to see it in holiday fabrics. Pumpkins or snowflakes anyone?

This is the perfect group or beginner project. Since the blocks are all trimmed to the same size AFTER the angled seams are sewn, all the blocks are the same size. A little fudge factor built into a project is always a good thing! The Creative Grids Straight Out Of Line Tool is required.

The Creative Grids 4-1/2 inch square and the Folded Corner Clipper are recommended.

All of these patterns are in stock now.

Put a new spin on 12″ Log Cabin blocks with this technique! The pattern includes two different sizes: 86″ square or 104″ square.

The book includes multiple layouts for the blocks so your quilt will be unique.

This would be a great class offered in two sessions. Learn how to use the Creative Grids® Log Cabin Trim Tool Two by Jean Ann Wright in the first class. Then learn how to use the Creative Grids® Kitty Cornered Tool by Deb Heatherly in the second class to add that awe factor!


Both you and your Creative Grid® customers will love this new combo! Three completely different patterns in one booklet! All three meet Quilt of Valor requirements… and all three require the Creative Grids® 12″ Log Cabin Trim Tool by Jean Ann Wright. The Creative Grids® Strippy Star Tool by Deb Heatherly is also a requirement for two of the patterns, and the Creative Grids® Folded Corner Clipper by Susan Nelson is optional for the third pattern.

These booklets are due to arrive next month so place your orders now.

Egg-Straavaganza by Deb Heatherly is the perfect way to celebrate the season! The eggs are made with the Creative Grids® Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tool for 4-inch finished blocks. Make it your own by changing colors or appliquéing letters or names on each egg.

The rickrack adds the awe factor and gives a decorative touch. The pieced border also adds to the Spring feel of this piece.

All you need is four coordinating fabrics to make this sweet quilt designed by Sarah Fulks, and that includes the background fabric. The instructions are written for an over-sized throw but you can add or delete blocks to make the quilt of your dreams. You may even learn a new technique for creating half-square triangles along the way using the Creative Grids® 4-in-1 Triangle Ruler.

Scrappy Quilts from Cut Loose Press®

Deb Heatherly has released several patterns that are scrap-friendly. These patterns are created with simple, beginner friendly techniques and don’t require any specialty tools.

Stars Over Franklin is a great scrap quilt! Just (16) 2-1/2-inch strips create the star points in this quilt and give it that scrappy look. Add your favorite accent fabric, in Deb’s case, gold, background and borders to complete this generous 70 x 70-inch quilt. It is the perfect quilt to learn how to use the Creative Grids® Folded Corner Clipper or Corner Clipper XL for more than bindings. The instructions include an alternate method, however, so it is not required.


Just (34) 10-inch squares is all you need to create this generous 61 x 70-inch quilt. It also is an opportunity to use the Creative Grids® Folded Corner Clipper or Corner Clipper XL for more than bindings. All you need to add is the four B’s: background, borders, binding and backing.

Just 12 fat quarters or 3 yards of scraps, plus the borders, binding and backing is all you need to create this stunning quilt.

Deb lives in the Great Smoky Mountains and says that in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, this was called a postcard quilt because quilters used a postcard for the template to cut the pieces for this quilt. Don’t you love that little bit of history? Incorporating these units into the middle border adds the perfect finishing touch!

The Creative Grids® 3 ½” wide rulers make cutting these pieces easy as pie! That ruler comes in three different lengths: 12 1/2″; 18 1/2″ and 24 1/2″.

Don’t you love that little bit of history? Now the Creative Grids® 3 ½” wide ruler make cutting these pieces easy as pie!

What a great scrap quilt! The quilt is made with just two alternating blocks. Since one of those blocks is the hourglass or quarter-square triangle, the alternating pieced four-patch block looks like they are set on point. This adds a dramatic element to the quilt that is oh sew easy to achieve!

Another great scrap quilt! Just 12 quarter yard cuts or 3 yards of scraps, plus the four B’s: background, borders, binding and backing is all you need to create this stunning quilt. Since the points are made with the Creative Grids® Strippy Star Tool, they float so every point is perfect, every time. The Creative Grids® Cat’s Cradle Tool is used to make the nine-patch variation in the center of each block. What a great way to learn how to use both tools and make an heirloom quality quilt along the way!

Don’t you love the way Deb has extended the star points into the middle border?

This is one of those patterns that you will refer to again and again! The ultimate pillowcase pattern! Hotel pillowcases cover the entire pillow with a flap that encloses the end. This pattern gives you the option of creating a pillowcase with a band or without in standard and king sizes. Why not make matching pillowcases to coordinate with your bed quilts? Now that makes a statement!

Snails Trail Mardi Gras is a variation of the ever popular Snails Trail Al Fresco (CLPJAW68). In this version, the diamond shapes are created with the Creative Grids® Half Rectangle Tool so each diamond adds even more interest and movement to the finished quilt.

Combining traditional Snails Trail blocks with these pieced diamond shapes creates this colorful version of a traditional Storm at Sea quilt. The Creative Grids® Square on Square Trim Tool includes markings to create the perfect-sized center four-patch. After that, creating the Snail’s Trail block is just a matter of color placement!

The Creative Grids® Half Rectangle Tool by Deb Heatherly:

The ever popular Snails Trail Al Fresco by Jean Ann Wright uses one fabric for the diamonds and the Creative Grids® 2 Peaks in 1 Tool.

Both use the Creative Grids® Square on Square Tool to create the Snail’s Trail Blocks.

Welcome our newest designer, Cheri Beatty! Her first submission is the perfect beginner class or project! Every inch of the fabric is used in this quilt. Grab forty-two 10-inch squares and you are ready to go. Kitting not required!

The name of the quilt says it all, Barcode Quilt. This is the perfect name for a quilt with a modern look that can truly be completed in an afternoon. Cheri recommends the Creative Grids® 6 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ Rectangle (CGR612) but any 6 1/2″ wide ruler in the line will make cutting a breeze.

Deb Heatherly submitted this gem! Gracie’s Star (CLPDHE047) is the perfect choice for a beginning quilter or anyone who wants to make a stunning quilt with a lot of impact. It makes a great Quilts of Valor, just adjust the borders as needed. An assortment of squares and half-square triangles never looked so good!

Deb recommends the Creative Grids® 5 1/2″ Square (CGR5) for this one since it is the perfect tool to trim those half-square triangles. Everything is in stock so you have time to get a sample done for your Fall class offerings!
