The Starburst quilt block pattern uses raw-edge applique - a favorite technique of mine!

I think it would be really fun to make a sampler style quilt with loads of different star blocks, but all using the same fabric! But this one looks good as a whole quilt too! Or make just a few blocks for a fun table runner!

For my sample block, I chose Kona solids Lemon, School Bus, and Kumquat from my stash, along with Kona Black for the background.

Kona fabrics, Aurifil threads, and Lite Steam-A-Seam 2

I traced the stars from the pattern onto the Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 using a lightpad, then pressed them onto the fabric.

Prepping for raw-edge applique

My Fiskars scissors made quick work of cutting out the stars.

Pressing the background fabric vertically, horizontally, and diagonally really helps when placing the stars.

I haven't sewn mine down yet, but my 50wt Aurifil in #2105 Champagne and #2235 Orange are perfect matches! I need to get some #2145 Yellow Orange for the middle color!

I love how this star really shines!
