Starburst - Blogger's Quilt Festival entry

Amy is hosting another Blogger's Quilt Festival - a fantastic on-line quilt show that takes place twice each year.

My first entry this year is Starburst.  I am entering it into the Original Design category.


This quilt is entirely my own design.  The star block is my favorite block and I wanted a new twist on the block by assembling it via squares from a single charm pack and 1/2 yard of background fabric.  I did circular quilting with my walking foot.  (Circular quilting is fun but gets a bit tedious as you go around and around and around.)




I love the picture of the back - the circular quilting shows up really well!


This was my final finish of 2013.  The photos were taken early morning light of December 31- New Year's Eve.


I just love the fun explosion of color!


Thanks for stopping by - make sure you visit all the wonderful quilts!

Happy Stitching!

    This is beautiful - I've just attempted spiral quilting for the first time and I get how tedious it can be, but it is so right for this quilt!

    What a beautiful work of art! The quilting really makes the quilt! I'm always so afraid to do circular quilt (because of warping) but yours came out flawlessly!
