About This Pattern
Star Burst is a dazzling 34 x 34 inch paper pieced quilt pattern built from 32 pineapple‑style diamond blocks arranged into a radiant, multi‑layered design. Eight diamonds form the striking center wheel, while the remaining twenty‑four create the surrounding outer wheels, giving the quilt its bold, spinning energy. Although the quilt is small, it uses miniature‑scale foundation piecing techniques, including ⅛ inch seam allowances, which allow for crisp points and precise alignment throughout. The pattern includes a master foundation set for quilters to photocopy as needed. For best results, quilters are referred to George Siciliano’s lightweight foundations, which can be left in the quilt; these are not provided.
