Sunburst

I will be hosting a CAL (crochet-a-long) for this lovely cushion I have created
The
pattern utilizes a lot of back and front post stitches, as well as
some front and back loop work. Knowledge of overlay crochet will be
helpful

What is Overlay Crochet?
From http://www.lillabjorncrochet.com/p/overlay-crochet.html
"Overlay crochet is a relatively new technique. It was developed by an artist and fantastic jewelry maker Melody MacDuffee in the United States and first introduced in 2003. Melody MacDuffee started to spread her inventions and conducted lots of workshops for hundreds of crochet lovers.
Overlay crochet has its roots in Aran crochet. Though it may look a bit complicated and quite often is offered to advanced crocheters, in fact it uses ordinary crochet stitches, and only few special ones. To master this technique it is necessary to already know how to make a slip stitch, a chain, single, double and treble crochet stitches, how to increase the number of stitches, how to make a long stitch.
What is interesting about this technique is that with changing colors on every round it is possible to achieve an effect as if the colors are actually changed after every few stitches."

It
is then encircled with a border, then changed into a square with a
similar border
The
