New York Beauty Quilt Along Begins Oct 1st
#41
Nygal and ppquilter so glad you'll be joining us. Practicing paper piecing is a great start! When it comes to the curved piecing that can be tricky but leaving the backing paper on, sewing a stay stitch line and snipping the curves really does make it way easier!

I have admired these quilts and would love to try it. I don't have a stash so I will have to go out and buy some fabrics. I am going to at least attempt one or two blocks. LOL - and see where it goes. Can't wait to see everyones work. Those blocks posted so far are gorgeous.

Thanks for the tip. I am excited...I think I will want to buy some bold fabrics to add to my stash for this.

For anyone considering doing a NYB, TRY IT! I was very leery of this pattern group, but I really love them now that I have tried. My first NYB quilt was immediately grabbed by my DH. These tuts look really good.
These are the two I made most recently, one for my DDiL and one for my doc's nurse practicioner, both wonderful people. One of my next projects will be a NYB purse.

The NYB is near the top of my bucket list, will have to see if I can make time to join in on this one, I love PPing and Ula's patterns. Have to figure out what fabrics I will use, B&W, batiks, Christmas ... decisions, decisions, decisions. Sigh.

I would love to join in on this. But I am confused about the fabric selection. Does anyone have an idea of how much yardage, and how many different colors I'd need to gather? Is there 1 fabric that would be more prominent where I would need more of? Thanks.....

[QUOTE=kristen0112;5490892]Renea, so glad you're joining us! To fun that your next thing on your bucket list is DWR because I am working on correcting a pattern for a variation of DWR call Flower ring and when this quilt along is finished was thinking about hosting that as a quilt along! I tried making it from an old book but it wasn't test before publication so the block came out wonky.
I would love to hear more about this, but later.....I have unfinished projects. One is my Model T quilt i need to finish quilting and bind before Sept 12th. First I need to put my canner away.
