ooooooo!!!! that is just really really cool.

Absolutely beautiful.

Awesome!!!!!! Love the pattern.

Beautiful!!!!

Wonderful Quilt, I love it.

Thank you!
My budget is super-tight, so I didn't buy the pattern or new fabrics. I had seen a quilt like it before and made note of the name. Then I Googled "Exploding Star" quilt and found a photo. If you cut the quilt down through the center and across the middle you can see how each quarter consists of 4 blocks. (Each block is 9 fabric squares by 9 fabric squares) I copied a grid into my computer's "Paint" program and then drew the star pattern of one of the quarters onto it. I think the real pattern cuts off the stars and has different corner blocks, but I wanted to finish off my star's points and fill the corners with more prints.

I'm attaching a sample of how I draw patterns out so you can tell what I'm talking about. This isn't the real pattern, just an example of what I do when planning a project.

Just lovely

You are a beginner??? Your quilt is wonderful and my husband loves it he said WOW someone really had to put a lot of time and thought into that one!

I needed to edit this... You designed this :shock: Awesome!

Great work. I haven't worked up the courage to do one of these yet.

I also like that you can look at it and remember your grandmother. That will make this quilt a treasure to you for the rest of your life.

Great work!

Wow! Beautiful :D

That is a beautiful quilt. How big are the squares on that quilt?

This is very eye catching exploding star and an excellent idea. Well done. Using up your scraps as well has made it more interesting. I bet someone can spend hours admiring the variety of blocks.

Very cool!

Tha is one beautiful quilt!

Real pretty-scrappy quilts are fun.

That is so cool. You did a super job of sorting lights and darks for this. What a great way to use up fabric scraps.

You call this a beginner? Amazing. Don't find fault with your seams. This is a work of art.

Everyone will have to take a second or third look at your star quilt. I love the way the stars stand out. What a neat way to use your stash. Wow!

WOW!!! it looks awesome!

Spectacular quilt.
Am awed not only by the quilt, but by the fact you designed it yourself.
Congratulations
I think you can stop referring to yourself as a beginner.

wow this is beautiful.

That is amazing and hard to believe it is your first try. You surely have a lot of beautiful quilts in your future!
thanks for sharing. I'd like to know about the pattern as well.
