New York Beauties

Another  New York Beauty I  had the pleasure of quilting.  There are folded fabric points in the construction method.  This does not allow for quilting edge to edge.
The second picture shows what I mean. I used a grey thread with a shine.  I was surprised at how

much the thread blended into the colours making it a challenge to see.
Pictures of previous NYB I  quilted.....

 







Sew...I need to finish the one I have started constructing. Of course I have no intention of setting the blocks like the quilts above. Although how to set them,  is yet to be determined.

New York Beauty

It never fails to amaze me how many days slip by between blogs.
I am sure you've all heard that line before. (smile)
I have quilted three of this style "New York Beauty" quilts,
where the points are created by folding the fabric.  Because of
this construct method the points do not lie flat and
care has to be taken quilting around them.  It was a windy day which
should explain this strange picture of the entire quilt.
Happy Monday!

New York Beauty

Check out this lovely little quilt. Wahoo wild and wonderful oranges and brown. The right now kinda colours!





Of course George came outside to help me photograph this lovely...the wind was up and the photographer is an amateur.


It's a small piece 46 x 68 and is not rectangular...as you can see.
What all ya 'all think?  Love to hear from you.  Leave a comment.
