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 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.
