Red Starburst, made and quilted by Pamela Golliet 

Spiky New York Beauty blocks nestle between the points of the lone star on this wall-size quilt. Pattern source: Judy Niemeyer's "Twinkle Star" pattern. Pamela Golliet says, "[This was] my first Judy Niemeyer paper pieced pattern, I used fabrics from my stash. I love the big star!"

Rose Colored Glasses, made and quilted by Athena Taylor

This beautiful lone star quilt is made from 250 paper pieced diamonds ranging from pink to red! The center star was a design by Tula Pink. Athena Taylor designed the surrounding layout, placing a red and pink butterfly in each of the four corners! Additional blocks were made with piecing, raw edge applique and needle turned applique. We spy a bee, umbrella, strawberries, and a cheerful frog.

 
Athena Taylor's lovely quilting can be seen in this closeup photo of the center star.

New York Beauty by Sara Quigley

This elegant paper-pieced quilt is made with a variety of red fabrics.  The background is a single white fabric. Sara Quigley says, "This was one of my first New York Beauty patterns and I made this about 15 years ago." It was beautifully hand quilted by ladies at the Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon.
