Our initial inspiration was the Quilt Alliance logo, then all hands searched the Quilt Index to find something suitably starburst like. We settled on "Light of Liberty" by Carol Anne Grotrian. Where she did a study in transparency we did our study in texture. Our quilt drawing was 'shattered' and the shards distributed, everyone went home and tried some new techniques. A little 'glue' got them all back together and voila, a new quilt is born!
