Does anyone know what the pattern in this picture is? My mom has challenged me to make this pattern for her, but the directions I have are very old and the templates included seem hand drawn. I'd like to find other instructions to compare with what I have, but I don't know where to start!

Also, hi! I'm new here. :)

It's a New York Beauty and they're easier to do paper pieced. No templates and the points come out nice an pointy.

It's a New York Beauty. There are several versions of it. It's one of my favorites. It's easiest to make if you do paper piecing. Here is a link

Wow, it looks like you guys figured it out right away! Thanks so much! I'll be looking at those sites to figure out if I have the skills to do it!

And thanks for the welcome!

try these, they're all pp
welcome

It's the wonderful New York Beauty, my fav pattern. It is a lot of fun.The arc with spikes in it is the only pp part, lf you make a pattern you have to add 1/4 in seam allowances to the large on the concave side, 1/4 to both arcs on the middle piece and a 1/4 seam allowance to the convex lower arc. Then they will fit together easily.

If you can paper piece you can do it!!! and paper piecing is easy!! here is a link to try it out in a simple manner so you can get a feel for it...

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress!!

Yes, the New York beauty...I have the book that Eleanor Burns has out..it has it in it.

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out. I've never done any paper piecing at all!

No fear!! It's easy!! I got faith in ya!!

Eleanor Burns had a great American Beauty on TV once. I bet she has a pattern or some info on her site.

This pattern was printed in Quilter's World Magazine. I think it ended up being about 36 x 36.

Looks like it's in a book I can get through the library, too! Yay! Thanks!

That looks like the one! Love the jewel tones you used! And the quilting!!
