Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Quick-Strip Paper Piecing »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Mod


Materials

Cotton quilting fabrics

What was your inspiration?

I love the night sky. During construction I have been part of a FB group reminiscing about the people and places around Paradise, KY ... thus, the name Paradise Nights.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Remember Peggy's advice to carefully preview the fabric points. Some of my star points disappear in the dark background because they happen to end in a dark print. Dark points on dark background don't show up.

Thank you. The border fabric was a lucky find because I did not know what to use for the border until I found this.

Thank you, Peggy. I really enjoy this class and paper piecing! This project kept growing. At first it was going to be a table runner, then it became a standard queen quilt, then it became an over-size queen quilt. LOL
