Paper piecing star wallhanging
 

I'm practicing the paper piecing technique so I can start on a pattern I received as a gift. I thought I'd start with something simpler, and this seemed like fun. I found free patterns online, made three 12-inch star patches, sashed and bordered them, and then started to have fun with the quilting. I was recently at the quilt show in Lancaster PA, and I bought a book about feathers. I started doodling on paper, liked what I saw, and started to implement those designs in the quilt. I almost like the back better than the front! Hope you enjoy looking too.

Great stars! The back is gorgeous.

Wow great job! Very pretty stars and feathers!

Definitely reversable. Nice job on both PP and quilting. And I wouldn't exactly call that star a beginner PP pattern. You appear to have jumped in with both feet and then proceeded to synchronize swim out swan lake! I think you are ready to tackle your gift pattern now.

That is so pretty. Wish I could do feathers like that. I can draw nice ones on paper or I like them. Its the machine to cloth and yes practice practice. Looks like you've got it. Thanks for sharing. Please share the other when you get it done

Great job! Love it! And the quilting looks awesome!

If I were you, I'd keep staring at my excellent quilting on the back, too! But I love the fabrics on the front ...

Very cool stars.

Very pretty!

nicely done

You did a great job. I would be tempted to hang it with the backside out.

You're right, both sides are wonderful.

You are doing great. Hope I'm as good some day!!!

When I'm finished all my projects and commitments, that is my next challenge or should I say a gift to myself, learning a new technique pp'ng. You did a great job on the quilting. I think you're ready for the next challenge.

Both sides are awesome! Would be a stunning quilt!

Very pretty! Love the quilting.

Great stars, great quilting.

great job and love the quilting

I love your star wallhanging. What a great decoration for Memorial Day and Fourth of July.

Wow and all those stripped/plaid fabric in the stars is oriented the same way! Very pretty quilting, BTW.

My only lament is that your feathers aren't very visible in the plaid because they are wonderful! Thank you for sharing. It is a beautiful piece of art!

Love the fabric. The front is beautiful the back is stunning. BrendaK

Your feathers are great.

Well, you sure did pay attention to that new book! Those feather's came out fantastic! I think you are ready for that pp'd project you were warming up for! Let's see it when it's done, bet it's going to be gorgeous!!

Great job on paper piecing. Fabulous job on quilting!!!

The stars are terrific, but (I must agree with you) the back is simply FABULOUS! Your quilting is just lovely!

Very pretty! And the back is pretty, too! The quilting really sets it off.

Both sides are beautiful. Great job paper piecing.

Great Job. I simply love paper piecing. ...

Beautiful work! Nice wall hanging.
