You are doing an amazine job on such a difficult pattern! Thought I'd show you a quilt I saw at the Dallas Quilt show yesterday. See the blue ribbon? Yours will equal this!

Umm.... whats the name of the quilt pattern? Beautiful gradation of the colors. You must have sewn alot before, just not quilted?

It is called Starburst (http://www.lockwoodquilts.com/store/...starburst.html) I didn't use the recommended fabric line in the pattern. I used South Sea Imports line called Complements Spatter (http://www.southseaimports.com/Allfa...r%2012%3C/i%3E)
I have sewn before with various crafting projects and some clothes, but never a quilt this big or complicated. I usually like quick projects that can be done in a day or two.
