When I took my first quilting class it was a sampler class and we made a lot of traditional blocks. I was fascinated by this one block - the Sunrise Star - and I wanted to see what it looked like in some contemporary fabrics. So here's my little Sunrise Star pillow in Parisville fabric. I am still unsure about the green border, but I've backed my new quilt in that fabric so I think it will work well once it's sitting on the bed and I tend to fold over the top so the backing shows.
I backed it with Kona ash (which looks really great with this colorway incidentally) and added a little of the purple eye drops.
So what do you all think? Modern? Traditional? Do you like? Let me know if anyone is interested in a tutorial. I took photos but I haven't edited them.

Ooooh. Love. I'm gonna say "modern twist on traditional." How's that for not answering your question? : )
You should link this up to Sew Modern Monday at Canoe Ridge Creations!
I saw modern - it's cute. And i love the little hint of fun on the back! :D
Oooo! This is perfect! :) I love the purple accent with the Kona Ash, looks great!
Thanks for linking up! Happy {Sew} Modern Monday!
I'm glad I clicked on the little linky at Canoe Ridge because that pillow looks so stunning much larger! I especially love the center and the points of the star.
I'm going to have to agree with Lee - it's a bit of both, nothing wrong with that! Great job :)
Darling pillow~I like it because it is different!
Would most definitely like a tutorial on that block. And, I love pillows made out of quilt squares, but this pillow looks very modern with those fabrics. I like it. Lane
