Need Name for New Pattern

[Miss Crochet]

I'm working on a stained glass window pattern and I'm nearly finished the first prototype. The second blanket will be done in pastels to show the pattern itself (at the moment the bright colours kind of overshadow the actual pattern.)

 

There are lots of afghans with names like 'stained glass window', so I'm looking for something short and descriptive ... but I'm drawing a blank   Do any of you creative ladies (and men) have any suggestions?

[RecycleCindy]

Hummm, twinkles comes to mind when I saw this. Very very pretty indeed! How about window twinkles, rainbow twinkles, star twinkles or colorful twinkles.

 

Anyway the pattern is awesome. Good luck with your naming.

Something to do with a Kaleidoscope maybe? The little triangles remind me of the little triangles that come together in a kaleidoscope.

[Shell Lee]

Kaleido-Star

Kaleido-Star

Love that name!  Can't wait for the pattern to be available....beautiful!!!

[pineknott]

star burst or brillance

[ReniC]

Very pretty pattern. I love the way the bright colors stand out on the dark background. Reminds me of different size stars, large and small, twinkling in the night sky as in the Milky Way. My suggestion is "Star Light".

I'm thinking - Pastel jewels but I also like "Star Light". Maybe something similar such as - Night lights or Night jewels or night flowers could be a possibility.

[Miss Crochet]

Wow - there are some fantastic ideas here, thank you all so much!

They really remind me of snowflakes, so maybe Snowflake Kaleidoscope??  They're really gorgeous--whatever you name them!!

That's exactly what popped into my mind when I saw it!

I'm going to go in a whole different direction...it made me think of those Italian glass balls -mille fiori (1000 flowers)

Kaleidoscope was the first thing that came to mind for me as well.

Kaleido-Star

 

Love it!!

 

My husband said his first thought was "protons & neutrons" but then he said, "I'm just different so I don't know." LOL..

This is EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw the picture!  What a perfect name for it!  It looks just like Millefiori!!!  

[LaVonneK]

I kinda thought of Auroa Borialus.  I can't spell.  The pretty lights in the sky!

[Kristy Taylor]

Burst came to mind when I saw it. but I like  Kaleidoscope  so how about Kaleidoscope Burst.

 

It is Gorgeous. how long did it take you to make?  

[Miss Crochet]

Not long, actually. The motifs work up very quickly (I find.) It's just trying to find time to make them with a small baby in tow ... now that's the problem!

[Kristy Taylor]

I just noticed you are in Germany. My brother lives in Bann

[Miss Crochet]

I'm down south, in Bavaria! It's a lovely country and well worth a visit (if you haven't been already) :-)

[grannyannie]

I first thought of stars and then the Northern Lights.  You have received many wonderful ideas already though.  The pattern is beautiful!  It's good to see you posting.  I miss your cleaver comments here and there, but I figured that little man of yours has you pretty busy these days, lol!

[kittyloverdeb]

Will you let us know when the pattern is available for purchase?  I SO want to make this!

[Startigerlily]

It's gorgeous!

[Miss Crochet]

So .. I just finished the pastel version of this pattern (more photos in Show and Tell!) and I've decided to simply call the pattern 'Stars & Flowers' because, depending on your colour choices, you can make an afghan of stars or flowers! I'm going to try a red/white/blue one for Independence Day as well :-)

 

Thank you all very much for your suggestions. I really liked 'Starburst', 'Kaleidostar' and 'Twinkles' but in the end I thought I should choose a name that shows what the pattern can do.
