- Description
- Names for quilt pattern blocks change over time, by region, and as variations on traditional or classical block patterns develop. This quilt consists of nine blocks, each having a 21-inch diameter circular inset pieced in the “Sunburst” pattern. Appliqued oak leaf motifs on the corners of the blocks set off the “Sunbursts.” Red, orange and green roller-print fabrics were used to create the vibrant design. A 5 ½-inch white quilted border frames the sunbursts. Diamond grid and echo quilting, 8 stitches per inch, completes the quilt.
