This quilt started out as a center for my 2023 SAHRR. But I loved this block and was afraid I would mess it up, so I changed my mind and put it aside. The pattern is called Delectable Starburst, and you can read all the details of how I found the pattern from a Pinterest photo right here.
The colors in this afghan bed runner in the guest bedroom served as inspiration for the quilt colors. Jack was a big help in pointing out loose threads.
I added a fussy cut center to the block and a dark blue metallic gold-flecked fabric for borders. The wall quilt finished at 36" x 36" and will reside in the guest bedroom. I'll try to update the photo after we rearrange a bit in that room.
For the backing, I found a block I made last August using the Plaidberry pattern and added batik borders to make it fit the front. I like the back enough to use it in the fall, so this little quilt is reversible.
I used a stiffer fusible batting so it will hang nicely, and quilting was mostly stitch in the ditch.
My husband, who is my biggest fan and master quilt holder (and usually not fond of orange or purple shades in a quilt) said "wow this is really nice" and told me he loves the colors in this quilt!
