Sunburst Serenade
 

 
 
 
 
 
66" X 66"

Using reproduction fabrics, the stars and sunbursts in this quilt were strip pieced and not fussy cut to achieve the look of an antique quilt. My 12th quilt was machine quilted on my Bernina 1230 for our youngest son, Rich's college graduation from Indiana University. The Pattern is by a wonderful quilter, Kathleen H. McCrady from Austin, Texas. Pattern published in "Quilter's Newsletter Magazine" (October 2002/No. 346). Completed February 12, 2004.
