Great job, you are not only talented but obviously a most efficient quilter as well.

Beautiful! You have been very productive! Three quilts in 4 weeks! I wish I just had time to quilt right now. I'm sure when the snow starts to fly and we are stuck in the house I will have more time to quilt.

I noticed the pattern in a quilt shop in Pennsylvania (I didn't buy it though) and the name of it is Exploding Star. I just basically stored the layout in my brain and came home and made it. I used the 10" layer cakes to make it so there was very little cutting to do when squaring up the blocks. It literally took me 7 hours to piece the quilt (there are 64 blocks total - 8 blocks across & 8 blocks down). Truly is a very easy pattern to do.

One day my youngest sister was quilting a quilt for another sister and noticed a block was turned wrong. She decided to leave the block as it was since it was in the middle and it would require a lot of seam ripping. We later found out that it was our only brother that "turned" the block when she wasn't looking. So, long story short, whenever one of us girls is making a quilt for another one, we ask our brother to "turn a block" so it is in the quilt incorrectly! So, this will probably be a part of my family's twisted fun as long as my brother is still alive. LOL

What a lovely story.
