| Starburst
The
idea for this quilt started with a traditional block known as the Hunter
Star. We used a triangle built with a 30-degree angle on one corner and
a 60-degree angle on the other corner, then divided it into four sections
just like the Hunter Star. I was surprised when we set the triangles together.
All of those six pointed stars started circling around the larger twelve
pointed stars, creating a new and exciting look, while still showing the
Hunter Star.
This quilt is sewn together using
foundation paper to build the triangles. If you follow the piecing and
pressing instructions step by step you will find all of the opposing seams
will interlock when setting this quilt together. This quilt was designed
using a pieced border allowing the stars to float into the border. This
quilt is an easy quilt to make if you read and follow the instruction.
No curved piecing is required. Applique is optional.
