Paper Piecing Quilts: Sunflowers

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. It allows tremendous precision and can be used for nearly every type of pieced quilt, including this striking Sunflowers design.

Moonlight Sunflowers by Melanie Harris, quilted by John Harris

We love the spectacular color combinations and precision piecing of Moonlight Sunflowers!  Melanie Harris says that this was her first paper pieced quilt, and her husband's first custom quilting. The feathery quilting, done in light-colored thread, enhances the design and complements the batik patterns. Melanie based her quilt on a Sunflower Illusions pattern by Quiltworx.
