This beautiful pattern was designed by Willyne Hammerstein, and is based on the Penrose star. The pattern is in Willyne's first Millefiori Quilts book.
I English Paper Pieced (EPP) my quilt, and then hand quilted it with Aurifil 28 wt. Look at all those gorgeous threads!!
I mainly used threads that matched the fabrics. I felt there was already so much going on in my quilt, the quilting didn't need to fight for attention too!
Finished size: approx 65" x 75"
Design: Willyne Hammerstein - Millefiori Quilts

Wendy, this is just unbelievable quilt! So beautiful! I love epp and hexies and diamonds but can't imagine making the whole quilt like this! This is my favourite! x Teje
I am amazed that it only took you 18 months to make this gorgeous quilt, it would be a lifetime project for me! Absolutely stunning!
Bravo, Wendy! I loved watching you make this quilt come to life and now seeing how it glows in the thumbnail (my favorite way to view a quilt before diving in to see the details).
Beautiful quilt! The colors are just amazing.
Beautiful quilt! I'm so glad I found your blog-I'm currently working on my own La Passa and I loved reading all your tips and tricks. I'm not even halfway done (don't worry, I'm still enjoying it:) but I've been trying to figure out how I want to quilt it. Your hand quilting is gorgeous and doesn't take away from all the hard work you put into the EPP. Love it!
Your quilt is absolutely breathtaking! Your work is stunning! Great choice of thread colours for the hand quilting. It really enhanced the beautiful fabrics. It looks like you enjoyed every moment of making this work of art. I just love it!
