New York Beauty Quilt Along Begins Oct 1st
#232
I will keep trying to get some curved seams by PP'ing as I go along. I remind myself that I want this years project to be a "challenge".
The other thing I am going to do is: Pre-cut all my outer pieces so that's done. I am using all the same dark plum fabric for this.
I struggled with fabrics for a while. What has to match, what can be scrappy.... if I did scrappy the colors would balance when the block went together. Think kaleidoscope and I moved past trying to organize colors.
I will pick up more fabrics from the Kansas Troubles line. I am thinking 1/4 yard of ones I like. I have a cathedral windows type of blocks I am doing mostly by hand using the same fabrics.
Now, where did my rainy days go?

Ellen, did you do this without using the PP'ing technique?
After several attempts, I finally removed the paper from the curved piece and sewed it together.
You are right about the points, which is what New York Beauty is all about.

Well, I finally managed to finish the one block, I guess it can only get better from here. It is a little wonky & don't want to press it with steam until the paper is off later. [ATTACH=CONFIG]371977[/ATTACH]

I pp'd the arcs and found I had to remove the paper before sewing to the other pieces
