This is my second entry into the fabulous Bloggers Quilt Festival held twice a year. This entry is for the throw quilt category. I was really excited when Melissa announced she was going to have a quiltalong for her Starburst quilt. I loved her version as soon as I saw it, so jumped at the chance to make my own version. I wanted to use a color palette that was bright and fresh, but would have contrast against the Kona Snow. I have used some of fav fabric ranges and designers in this quilt...Lucky Penny, Simply Color, DS, Lizzy House, and Joel Dewberry.
Melissa's instructions were super easy to follow and I love how this has turned out. For the back I wanted colours that complemented the front so went for a pieced back using Joel Dewberry's Heirloom and Kona solids. The binding is Michael Miller's Cotton Couture Violet. I free motion quilted it on my Bernina using an all over stipple.
