I have been invited to teach a class at one of our local quilt shops, Maplewood Quilts in Northfield, VT! On May 3rd, I will be teaching a paper pieced star class to make this quilted bag. The pattern is the China star from Carol Doak’s Mariner’s Compass Stars book and the bag is from my own pattern.
All of the fabrics are in shades of gold and amber set against an Amish black Kona cotton. My DH says it looks Mexican/Aztec but I think it has an African vibe to it. Either way, this bag is really hot and I am so glad it is mine, mine, mine! Of course, I have to display it at the shop until the class, but I can wait… maybe.

I really wish I could take a class from you! I tried paper piecing and it was really hard! I didn’t have a make and take class though. It was more like a demonstration and I went home and tried to remember what the teacher told us! That was hard enough in itself. Your paper pieced bags are awesome. They make me sort of kind of want to try paper piecing again, after I finish all my other UFOs!
