Wow.
WOW!
Now that's my kind of quilter.
Is that all appliqued or pieced? Or a combo?
How brilliant was she...and so innovative to come up with what is clearly a unique piece of work.
Thank you so much for sharing that - it's not often you see something totally new. I'm sharing that photo with my group.
Fabulous!!!
eta: You know, the more I look at it, I see sort of the bones of a Mariner's Compass with some really, really interesting coloring. I could see how it could be pieced (even paper-pieced) with some extra lines to create a leaded (white fabric) effect. I'm off to play in EQ.

Sorry, I can not tell you the name either, but Starburst fits it perfectly!
One person that may be able to give you a hint on what it is may be Eleanor Burns. Go to her site and e-mail a pic to customer service. Here is the link: http://www.quiltinaday.com/customerservice/

This quilt was needle turn and entirely hand pieced/quilted with beautiful, even stitches. The owner thought that this particular one had been done by her husband's great-grandmother around 1925.
