This is the first block of a new big quilt I plan to make.
The name of the pattern in the center of this block is "Sunburst"
and I love everything about it:
the name, the way the pieces are arranged, the harmony in it,
the combination of different fabrics, which make each other glow.
It's an old, traditional pattern and appears in various variations in quilts from the last century and earlier,
I have seen it in quilts even from the time around 1850…
I think it's just the right pattern for celebrating the arrival of spring!
"Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!"
