Points of Pride by Teresa Darling, quilted by Rose Maynes.
Teresa Darling says, "I acquired the material and pattern at a yard sale. I am new to paper piecing, so this was a challenge... I am thrilled with the results. Rose Maynes enhanced the quilt with her exceptional quilting."
Points of Pride is based on a design by Dolores Smith & Sarah Maxwell, published in American Patchwork & Quilting, August 2010 (the bed-size pattern is still available for purchase at the APQ shop.)
