Qurrat Thakur of Cedar Park, Texas, won 2nd Place in the "1st Entry in an AQS Paducah Contest." Her quilt, Zaina's Starburst (83"x83"), is an excellent, colorful quilt based on a pattern by Elsie Campbell. We stepped back and then went closer. Yes, we love the colors, but take a look at the quilting! Look at the close ups, and then come back and see how the entire design of circles works around the quilt. And we love the look of the hearts in the corners of the light blue. Great job.

Wow! I just love it. The quilting is fabulous. The colors are eye catching. Is there a pattern available?. I would love to try piecing it but know I could never quilt it as well as this one.

Qurrat, What an inspiration!! I have tears & goosebumps, this is sooo Beautiful! I was surprised, Excited, and ashamed a bit when I read that u quilted this on your sit down long arm!! I have a new one -now 1 yr old and barely quilted with, only because I’m scared to use it. Your work has pushed me to try - even IF I make mistakes.... I wish there were classes near me. Did you take classes?

Thank you for featuring my quilt. I am truly honored.
To answer Nancy Mullin, this was quilted on my sit down long arm machine.

Marilyn Dickson, there are hearts quilted into the corners. I think that is what rd2quilt is referring to.

Thanks for giving me credit for the pattern here. The original quilt was hand quilted and lives in the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.

Was it quilted at home? Long arm or regular sewing machine?

A beautiful example of using contempory colors to make a traditional pattern sing. The quilting is the frosting on the cake. I love this quilt!
