How to Quilt my take on a NY Beauty?
Just finished this top and any ideas, even for portions of the quilt, are welcomed.
I plan to use a dark grey/almost black "Obsidian", King Tut thread for the black areas.

It's a lot more purple in real life...it looks pink here.

Your quilt is great! I have a NYB that has been languishing waiting for quilting for a few years now. So far I've only hand quilted and I'm not sure I'm up to hand quilting through that many seams! Sorry I have no suggestions for you.

Love the quilt. The NY Beauty block is one of my faves. I'm not good at deciding what to quilt, but I do think some heavy quilting to mat down the black will keep the arcs as the stand outs they should be. After that, no clue.
