Andrea's Starburst

First off, my apologizes to Andrea who has a much better name for this quilt, I saw the label and everything, but am drawing a total blank right now.  I always give a "nick name" of sorts to the quilts I am working on, and I named this one Andrea's Giant Starburst.


Isn't this beautiful?  I love the bright colors, and dramatic design.  Now get this, Andrea is a relatively new quilter.  She designs her own works, her points are perfect, her vertical and horizontal lines are spot on, in a few words, her work is amazing.


These yellow star points were gigantic.  


I used the divide and design method for these large points.





And to top it all off, Andrea made me a loaf of bread!  It was wonderful, yummy, and I loved it.  Thank you so much Andrea.
Not the best photo, but the bread was delicious!!

Again, I thank you all for sticking with me and my lousy blogging.  Summer has been good.
