Starburst

I saw a version of this block and decided I couldn't wait for the directions to come out in the magazine.  Their's was made with 80 pieces, mine was with 40. And I turned my pieces differently.  It reminds me of a starburst...hence the name I'm calling my version.

 Not having a pattern, I had to figure out how to put it together on my own and the centers didn't line up as easily as I would have liked.  I'm hoping that after it is quilted, it will lay flatter than it does now.  I used a strip method for the pieces and then cut on the 45 angle.

 This is the block and I fudged a lot of the points.  I suggest you wait for the magazine for their pattern,  I was ready to put the thing away, but tonight I put it together with hand piecing and it was much better than on the machine.

 I added a border and now it's ready to prepare for quilting.  I really love the color combination.
