"Starring You" by Peter Byrne won Best In Show at Quiltcon 2020.

Starring You is the first quilt that Peter made intentionally to go into a juried show. It took him about four months to make and there are about 250 hours of quilting stitches alone. It won Best In Show at QuiltCon 2020 and it was just an honor for Peter to be there.

Peter writes about Starring You: “Working within a modern aesthetic, I limited my colour palette to black and white to bring attention to the large graphic, yet striking minimalist design. I used 90 pieces of turned edge appliqué to create the explosive star burst as it provides the greatest freedom of composition. The expansive negative space is densely quilted with a variety of hand guided quilting motifs and to highlight and add definition, I used a heavy weight black thread.”
