Autumn Jubilee Quilt Along continues today with the second block. Block B is simple, we’ll take two pieces of fabric and sew/cut, sew/cut until we have two quarter square triangle units.
Begin with two pieces of fabric, one in the black background, and the other in the center star print, both 13-1/2-inches square. Or you can use a different print if you prefer. The idea is that the quarter squares will tessellate with the star background, making a pointed background. Start by marking two sewing lines on the lighter of the two fabrics, one quarter inch away from a center diagonal line.
Sew on those lines, then cut apart. Reposition so that the colors are opposite each other right sides together, and draw two more lines perpendicular to the seam line. I forgot to take a photo of this step, but this one from another project will hopefully help you see what I mean. The one on the left is a QST.
Sew on those lines and cut apart. Square up to 12-1/2-inches.
For the Harvest Star runner, I am using a large cornucopia and leaf print. This is a great time to use large prints as this block has a big area to showcase them.
Assemble the runner with the star in the middle, and the Quarter Square Triangle Block B on either side, with the black backgrounds sewn together. Next week, we will finish it off, with borders and another idea to expand the runner.
If you’d like to make a quilt with this idea, here is how it might look. I did not have time to do a whole quilt for you this year, but I did mock it up in EQ8. I’ll show you some additional ideas next week.

Just leave a comment on this post, which Hobbs batting would you like to try first?
From My Carolina Home 
I already use 80/20 but I’d like to try wool.
This is such a classic table runner with the star in the center. I am thinking it would be great for the Christmas holidays and/or maybe later for the Fourth of July.
You are certainly making it easy for patchwork stitchers……..so very generous of you!
I’m waiting to see how you expand the table runner!
I’d love to try the cotton/wool blend, or the 100% cotton batting.
Thank you to you and Hobbs!
Silk would be my choice.
I would want t try the silk first.
Hobbs is a leader in quality batting. So generous of them to participate in the Autumn Jubilee!
I use Hobbs 80/20 but would like to try silk.
I would like to try the wool batting. When I started quilting, I thought polyester was the only way to go, but boy have I learned how mistaken I was. My quilts with polyester feel so scratchy, and I have learned that using other types, you don’t have that feeling.
I would love to try the silk batting first, then the cotton/wool. I love Hobbs batting.
Love the look of the larger “quilt”! Thanks for the pattern and all your effort! I am torn between wanting to try wool and silk.
Looking good! I love those Tri Recs blocks made into a star. I would like to try the silk batting. I have been stuck in a rut lately of using only cotton/bamboo.would also like to try the wool batting or the wool/cotton batting. Someday!
I would like to try the silk. Wool gets eaten at my house…
I want to try Tuscany Wool first. Thanks for sharing and the great giveaway!
I’d like to try the cotton/wool batting first. Thanks.
I would love to try Tuscany Collection Washable wool!

Gotta try that silk! For a very special quilt with embroidered squares. Thanks so much for sharing your runner pattern with us!
I would like to try the wool. I use Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 in most of my quilts. I would like to see the difference in wool.
Next step! I love this pattern!
I like a lot of the Hobbs Battings, but I would like to try more of the silk blend ones!
I would love to try the silk. I hear it is very warm yet light in weight.
Actually, I have found the opposite to be true with the silk batting in one of my quilts. It is lightweight and cool, more suited to summer quilts where a lot of warmth isn’t desired.
I have fabric to make both a fall & Christmas theme table runner. I so look forward to your Autumn Jubilee. Thank you for all the work you do to give us such great projects!
I would like to try silk batting. I wonder if it would be cooler here in the deep south.
I would like to try the silk batting first! Love your star pattern.
Would love to try silk.
I would love to try the wool, already love the 80/20 batting! Thank you!
definitly wool!
I would love to try a wool, but I would try any of them….
I love this batting and use it most of the time.
love your blog
I’d love to try the silk batting!
That’s a fun design, Carole, and should go together quickly! I’d like to try the Hobbs wool batting since I’ve been doing so much more hand quilting.
I use the 80/20 for most quilts but would love to try the Thermore ultra thin.
I use other Hobbs battings, but would like to try the silk.
Definitely would like to try the washable wool. Awesome giveaway! Thanks for sharing the quilt-a-long too.
I would like to try Tuscany 100% Wool batting.
I can’t find my comment, Carole! I did post one though! “I would love to try Tuscany Collection Washable wool!”

I love all of Hobbs batting, but have not yet tried the wool batting.
Thanks!

I use 80/20 all the time. Since I’m new to quilting, I’m not sure what I should try next. I’ll research it though.
The star quilt is looking lovely :-0
I’m a diehard Hobbs 80/20 girl.
Tuscany Collection Cotton Wool Blend is the one I’d like to try first. Love the look of the quilt!
I’d like to try the cotton wool blend. From what I’ve read it has the best qualities of both in one batiing.
I have never used a wool batting before, but I hear that it is very easy to use and quilts beautifully!
I think that I’d like to try my hand at the Thermomore batting next. From all users, this sounds like a good one to use with tablerunners and placemats.

I would like to try the silk but I’ve been reading about bamboo batting lately. I haven’t found it anywhere but I’m searching for it to try.
I generally use 80/20 but would like to try Tuscany.
I’d love to try the Hobbs fusible cotton blend batting.
Tuscany unbleached 100% cotton.
Tuscany 100% Wool Batting
The Silk Batting caught my eye, I’ve never tried it and it sounds luxurious.
A nice quick runner design!
I would like to try the wool batting.
I like Hobb’s 80/20 but would love to try Tuscany wool. Thank you so much for the offer.
The 80/20 would be my choice. Love this latest fall star design, Carole. Thank you for designing for us!
I have never used a wool batting and would love to try that!
I have been told the silk is wonderful so I would try that first.
I would love to try their wool!!
I would love to try their fusible cotton batting. I really dislike pinning when layering the quilt, and this would eliminate it. Thanks!
I would like to try their Unbleached Cotton Throw Quilt Batting. Like the quilt idea you presented. Thank you!
I’d like to try a cotton wool blend
I would like to try the wool or the cotton wool blend. The wool batting seems to give a lovely definition to FMQ.
If I could try any Hobbs batting, I think it would be the wool. And I might not use it all in a quilt, but in a stadium parka!
I’d love to try the Tuscany Cotton/Wool batting…sounds luxurious!

I haven’t yet used the Tuscany line but certainly would like to try it.
cotton & wool batting!
I have never tried a Hobbs batt, but would love to try the wool…I’ve heard that hand quilting wool is like quilting through butter and I’d like to try that!
I’d like to try the Supreme
100% Cotton batting.
Carla from Utah
I would love to try silk batting.
Love the runner. Would make it with Xmas fabric.
I have never used wool batting. I’d like to try the Hobbs Premium 80/20 batting. And maybe someday be ambitious and daring enough to try the wool.
I have not tried the 80/20 or wool batting —no this brand, would love to!
Hi-I’m behind on reading…will you be making a wool project this fall? thanks.
You must have missed the Wool Stitch Along earlier in the month. Click on the title of the blog and scroll through the posts for this month and you’ll find it.
I’d love to try the 100% wool batting. My go to batting is currently the Hobbs 80/20.
I really enjoyed your presentation to the Electric City Quilt Guild tonight. I want to try all of the different types of batting.
Tagging along behind, as usual lately! The table runner is very nice, but I do like the look of the quilt. I can see doing this for American Hero Quilts, too.
