Sensational Stars and Circular Borders

New as yet unnamed Star!

It has been a very busy fall with many quilting trips. The final trip was to Paducah, KY, where I was filming online classes for West Kentucky Community and Technical College. This time, I was filming two sessions, one "Sensational Stars", and the other "Designing Circular Borders". Last spring, I filmed my first session, "The Goose is Loose". You can access the classes by visiting http://www.wkctcnow.com

For these two classes I decided to make double use of one quilt. The center star was shown in the first session and the borders in session number 2. I also designed 3 additional circular borders that also fit onto the center star. The quilt, shown above, is nameless as of today, but I hope inspiration strikes me soon, or you have a great idea for a name. I used two different hand-dyed fabric gradation pack from Starr Designs which I think really make this quilt sparkle. I used the 10 fat-quarter packs of Maui Magic and Cabana Cools.

If you have a suggestion for a name for the new design, please let me know.
