I entered Autumn Wedding, an appropriate quilt for this time of year. I gave this quilt to my oldest son and his wife for a wedding gift.
The center medallion has the spinning star pattern that I bought at an Amish Quilt Sale in Raleigh. The colors seem to glow!
The pieced border is made of a smaller spinning star from the pattern, and the Sharyn Craig Challenge blocks I swapped with the CyberBee.
We each made a set of blocks with the same (difficult!) pattern, and then each made a quilt from the set. There were fourteen in all, so I made three pillows to go with the quilt from my extras.
This quilt is heavily quilted with oak leaves, acorns, and other motifs that do not show up very well in the photos.
The deadline is tomorrow at midnight if you want to enter the contest!

wow! This quilt is amazing!
Interesting quilt to look at. Love the center section and I think if I look at the little blocks for long enough I might be able to work out how they go together.
Wow, beautiful!
Beautiful quilt:)
The quilt is very beautiful!
That is gorgeous! One day my skills will reach that far....
Great Odin's Raven, my Momma is one amazing quilter! woo!
Awesome!
This is an amazing quilt! I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. I especially like the border blocks just floating there. I have 5 years to go until I can retire from teaching and quilt all the time.
What a lovely quilt!!! : ) Those colors just seem to RADIATE! Thanks for sharing.
the centre star is amazing!!! did you make it or buy it? Also... whatis the difficulty level?
To Anonymous: Both the center star and the smaller spinning stars in the outer border were from a purchased pattern. The center star was very difficult to put together. Choosing the fabrics was fun- trying to use both brights and muted colors to get that glowing look.
The pattern is Star Spin by Oregon Treasures. You can find it at QuiltBooksUSA.com.
