Featured Quilt - Quilted Stars Burning Bright

We Are All Made of Stars by Melissa de Leon Mason was featured in the Piecing category at Quiltcon 2022. Like the galaxy we live in that the quilt is depicting, it is made of many individual tiny pieces that were foundation paper pieced together.

She writes, "We Are All Made of Stars plays with the idea of scale, suggesting the vast sprawl of the universe and the microscopic precision of the human eye. I was experimenting with radial piecing and made this in wedged quadrants. The rays and sunspots are foundation paper pieced with hand quilting and hand appliqué in the center. It is both hand and machine quilted in a swirling galaxy motif."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Appliqué With A Twist Ending
"Friends With A Twist" by Mary Olson and Garry Olson

Friends With a Twist was Mary's first quilt and the one that opened her world up to appliqué. After finding Michele Hill's book, William Morris in Appliqué, she brought it home to her husband, Garry Olson, who proceeded to take an interest in helping her make the quilt. The quilt was inspired by the William Morris work, Friends, from Michele's book, but expanded upon to include more blocks and designs to fit a king size bed. To do that, Mary turned to Garry, who was an art major, to create the designs to fill out the quilt that she was looking for to realize her vision.
