This is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing, it is definately on my to do list. I can see how you would stay interested since there are so many different bursts to work on. How did you quilt it?

Since I know many of you will ask, the individual block patterns can be found at www.lenzula.com. The overall layout/design is my creation.

The size is 88' x 96', there are 10 different "starburst" patterns, plus the mini "suns" and "moons." This took 8 months and 10 days of daily work just for the piecing, but with all of the different colors it stayed fun.

BTW, one of the pics is upside down, but since I haven't yet decided which is the top of the quilt and which is the bottom, I guess it doesn't matter!

Wow! That is just gorgeous! Congrats!

I was just looking at the NY Beauty pattern in the Fons & Porter mag. It looks very hard and complicated. It totally intimidated me. I love the way you made the blocks look like they're overlapping.

CONGRATULATIONS on you ribbons. It is a beautiful quilt. Now I don't feel so bad about time spent making a quilt. I have been working a bargello for 3 months and still about another month to go.
