Illuminated Star was designed and pieced by Paula and was quilted by Claudia Clark Myers and Jessica Torvinen. (35 ¼” x 35 ¾” - 2015)

Paula writes, "I like to work in a series because, inevitably, you ask yourself lots of “What If” questions. The perk is that the questions you ask get more complex but the answers get simpler."

"Illuminated Star is the third of three small quilts I made based on the traditional Thousand Pyramids quilt pattern. All three are included in my new book FABRICADABRA: Simple Quilts, Complex Fabric."
