Flashes of Brilliance
(Sugarloaf Stars)
75.5 x 78
It's a finish!
It's hand quilted!
I did it! I never thought I could make a quilt like this!
The pattern, inspired by a vintage quilt, is by Pam Buda and was published in American Patchwork and Quilting October 2015.
I did the hand quilting with blanc perle #12 and quilted it similar to the vintage quilt.
I made the leftover strip set pieces into a flimsy - Sugarloaf With Mustard - in August 2021 and it still needs to be quilted.
Now what shall I get ready for the hoop? I have several choices. Hmmmm...

That’s a gorgeous finish. I do hope you are keeping this one for yourself and that you will enjoy draping it around you - if you ever sit still long enough for a nap! Perhaps the Leftovers with mustard should be the next one to hand quilt?
Flashes of Brilliance is the perfect name for this amazing quilt! Your piecing is fantastic, the colors are beautiful, and the hand quilting finishes it off beautifully! Congratulations on a wonderful finish!
Congratulations on this fabulous finish! I love how your vintage quilting respects the original quilt. Awesome! ;^)
Oh my goodness! How beautiful! and the snow pics are gorgeous!

This quilt is gorgeous! I love the way you quilted it. It really shows off those colorful "flashes". I am looking forward to seeing what you decide to quilt next.
Congrats on a fabulous finish! I hope this is YOURS forever on your favorite hand quilting chair and on your lap when it's cold!
Another hand quilter...yahoo! and a finished quilt. It is wonderful, thanks for sharing with us.
I remember when you were making those blocks. What a spectacular quilt they made! This one definitely deserved the hand quilted finish too.
This quilt is so beautiful! Love it! You've done an excellent job with the hand quilting!
This is indeed brilliant!! Beautiful job.
What a great finish! I love it against the snow on the sunny day. Hooray for the long term project with such great blocks. You are amazing to do the hand quilting. And I love your sugarloaf as well.
You are an amazingly fast hand quilter! What you finished in a month would have taken me a year. This is a gorgeous finish!
Gorgeous, gorgeous finish. Congratulations!
Cathy, just a stunning quilt! The colors, the values, the handquilting, so amazing!
Totally impressed I am. Congratulations for completing something you thought you couldn't do!!!
Oh Wow, Flashes of Brilliance is a most amazing finish! All that intricate piecing; 'tis breathtaking! Beautiful fabrics, amazing piecing and fabulous hand quilting. All combined together to result in a stunning quilt!
Both the piecing and the quilting are very special. Simply beautiful! You should be very proud of it, and yourself for a great finish.
such a beauty....well worth the time invested...will be a life long heirloom...
Congrats on finishing this beauty! Amazing handwork! It's gorgeous!
This is gorgeous Cathy! What a surprise - you really have been busy. This will be a family heirloom! I would never attempt anything like this in a million years.
Wow! Your quilt is beautiful! And you quilting this in only a month, and everything else you have accomplished, and fitting it all in with Christmas. Wow!
Great work, the top is such a pretty design, looks rather complicated to me. And it didn't take you too long at all to complete the hand quilting. Great job all round!
Yay for a fantastic finish! Your Flashes of Brilliance is wonderful and I love that you hand quilted it. Thanks for inspiring me to give it a try; my flimsy is done, but not quilted. I'm tempted to try hand quilting because yours looks so soft and lovely, but I know my limitations!
You made fast work of that hand quilting! Very nice finish, congrats!!
Congratulations! It is beautiful and looks amazing. You quilted it very quickly and now you get to enjoy it this winter.
I hope this one is a keeper. It's amazing.
WOW WOW WOW! It's a beauty, Cathy. Congratulations!
I am amazed at your production and passion for antique or at least old quilt inspirations. OMG finishes 1 - 4 are all inspiring.
Hand quilting it...I hope that means it is staying with you or going to a very special person.
Astonishing. Congratulations! Beautiful work!
I remeber when you were making these blocks. I can't believe you hand quilted this in a month. I take that back. I can believe you did it and it's beautiful.

I remember when you started these! Lovely and the perfect joy for cold, dark January days.
Simply stunning.
Oh, so wonderful! A beautiful quilt and I hope you are keeping this one?
Well named!!! And totally gorgeous!
Wow! What a special quilt. Very worthy of hand quilting. I hope you are keeping this one for yourself or have a recipient in mind who will really appreciate all the work and skill you.ve put into the quilt.
