How to sew a long starburst quilted pillow. A paper pieced quilt block (source here) that’s so fast and easy you’ll need to make many more!
I paper pieced this lone starburst block using scraps and now we have the most fun accent pillow:
My girl #1 quickly claimed this pillow as hers, now I’ve got to get busy making two more for the others:
Here’s how to make the lone starburst pillow:
1. Print 4 copies of the paper pattern from here:
2. Begin paper piecing following the numbers, I sew from the backside:
3. All pieces sewn:
4. Sew pieces together to form block:
5. To quilt pillow front layer block, batting and white cotton.
Pin and quilt as desired.

Absolutely beautiful! I also adore your headboard. 🙂
adorable! i love the colors!!!
I love it! I haven't been brave enough to paper piece…maybe now's the time. Thanks!
Love this pillow and the colors are perfect!
Gorgeous pillow!!! I love your fabric choices!
I agree with the others–love the color choices! This reminds me that I paper-pieced a quilt top a few years ago and started woodworking before I got a back on it and quilted it. Might be time to get that finished 🙂 I love how paper piecing really gives you precision on difficult blocks.
Love this pillow! Looks so colorful and fresh! Beautiful job! Liz
