New York Beauty Quilt...

 

It's time to change up the quilt on the bed...

It's been awhile since we had our

New York Beauty Quilt

on the bed...

I started paper piecing this quilt in 2009...

I love paper piecing...

that's the best way to get those really

pointy points...

I used lots of floral and fruit fabrics...

I also enjoy curved piecing...

I think I enjoyed the challenge of this quilt...

It's back on the bed and we can enjoy 

all of this color over the summer!

New York Beauty Quilt...

 

Some of you may remember this quilt...

New York Beauty

I began paper piecing this in 2009

It was my Monday project

at the Harlan Valley Quilters...

I completed the top in 2017...

The top sat around for 5 years...

Here it is quilted and on our bed !

New York Beauties are known for

those sharp and pointy points !

I stitched the binding on last week

and sewed the label on the back...

Fresh 'n Fruity

Fabulous Finish....Number 4

I dug deep to find this unfinished project...

These were orphan blocks from a

New York Beauty quilt from 2009

I put the orphan blocks into a table runner

and today they are going under the needle

for some machine quilting...

These blocks are all about the fabrics and design,

so I kept the quilting very simple

so it would not compete...

These are 6 inch blocks that were leftover from

my New York Beauty quilt

They are foundation paper pieced...

which is the only way to roll with the

NYB pattern

Just love those pointy points !

Now that it is finished,

it will brighten up the kitchen table...

I now have 4 Fabulous Finishes

and I will dig around for the next one soon !

New York Beauty......Quilt Top DONE!

Spent the day piecing the 2nd half of the

New York Beauty Quilt Top...

It is wonderful to finally have it 

all in one piece!

Speaking of pieces...

there are 1,995 NYB star points

in this quilt...

2,363 total pieces

It measures: 93 x 88 inches

The next step is preparing a backing...

I have a bolt of 108 inch white fabric...

I plan to dye a backing with Lime Squeeze.

I am planning to machine quilt this with 

green variegated thread...

the green Lime Squeeze backing fabric

will work nicely with the green thread.

As you can see,

the design wall has my next project on it:

New York Beauty.......Half Pieced

After a day of piecing...

half of the NYB quilt top is off the design wall...

These diagonal rows are.....LONG!

Here is half the NYB quilt...

waiting for the other half to join it.

I took these images yesterday

just down the road from our house:

Rock Wall.....Icicles

You can enlarge these images by 

double clicking on them.

Looking UP at the rock wall...

It is cold here in Western Oregon this year!

New York Beauty...

I am in a New York State of Mind...

I put my crown on...

it is time to get serious and finish my

New York Beauty Quilt

My NYB fabrics have been living in this 

suitcase for several years...

I am foundation paper piecing 

the arc units...

Once the arc unit is paper pieced...

I remove the papers and piece the block together.

4 arc blocks create a 16 inch NYB block...

Just love all those crowns... 

pieced and ready to go!

It is wonderful to have a design wall nearby

to help with color placement as you work...

At this point...105 NYB blocks 

pieced and on the wall.

Now I need to cut the side setting triangles...

I have used this chart for many years

for cutting triangles.

Yesterday I cut all of the side triangles...

here they are on the design wall...

I will be piecing this bad girl together today!

More to come...
