Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Hi every one I,m ready to start my 5th quilt and want to try something that looks harder .
I,d like to try a Hollywood block and try doing it with paper piecing.
Some thing totally new to me .
My problem is I can find a free pattern.
Any one know where there is one on the web ?
Thanks
Tom
Can you show us a picture of a hollywood block? I've never heard of that one.
I tried Google and didn't find any block by that name.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
I can't find a quilt of that name either. Some patterns are only available from the designer and are not free.

What about a New York pattern it looks really involved.

Good for you Tom for building your skills, it is very rewarding.
We need a photo of the Hollywood block, from that we can most likely figure out what the traditional name is and from there find a free pattern. There isn't much new under the sun, just new designers renaming existing patterns and marketing them as something new.
New York Beauty is a gorgeous pattern, and you would be learning curves in assembling, great project.
Think i,ll go with the New York pattern.
Any where i can down load want to do it with paper .
As from what i hear the points are way better and crisper.
Thanks
Tom
It will help your searches if you use the correct name of the block which is New York Beauty.
Google it. Most New York Beauty (NYB) are paper pieced and there are some free ones. You will never find it if you type in New York Pattern. Use New York Beauty quilt pattern.
See if this is something you can use: http://quilterscornerclub.tripod.com..._patterns.html
I have been paper piecing for about 2 weeks. I have watched many Youtube videos on it and the best advice I have for you is when paper piecing it seems backwards. As you add you next piece don't look back to where you have been, look forward. After that the light bulb went off and I have made 2 lovely star blocks so far. Good Luck Marie
