Paper Piecing Quilts: New York Beauty

Paper piecing is a type of quilt making in which you sew patches directly onto a paper template (foundation).  You then join the different sections to construct the full quilt. The technique allows tremendous precision and can be used for nearly every type of pieced quilt, including this sparkling medallion quilt.

Miss Kitty by Melanie Harris, quilted by John Harris

This medallion-style quilt by Melanie Harris (quilted by John Harris) really captured our eye! It features New York Beauties and flying geese in a glorious setting of fabulous colors: pink, red, aqua and a touch of greenish yellow.

The pattern was designed by Dutch designer, Jacqueline DeJonge, who can be found at BeColourful Quilts (The pattern, from Jacqueline's Collection, is called "Miss Rosie"). This quilt is expertly paper pieced.
