It looks great! All those points look perfect to me. Are you paper piecing?

I've just finished the center and I want to get some eyes on it of people who know what they are doing. I don't want to continue to far if it isn't right. I think it is but if you all could just let me know if there are any major issues which I need to fix (I know pictures aren't perfect) that would be great.

I've done New York Beauties, but I don't know if they are done the same way as yours. Your block is BEAUTIFUL!!! I think pride in workmanship shows through in your block!!! Very nice work!!

Your center looks great, I haven't made one of these yet but its on my to do list. Love your colors, they are just beautiful. Keep going and please share with us as you go along. Great job. HUGS

I have found that the star points were the hardest with making a curved seam. I redid the seam about 10 times and am still a little nervous that it isn't perfect. I'm kind of anal. Does anyone have suggestion how to perfect a round seam? I've looked on line and watched youtube videos but I still need to work on it. Also I tried to use elmer's glue but it still wasn't working out right.
As for how long it took me to make the first block it took me the weekend but I wasn't working on it constantly. Yesterday I started on the next block and by the end I nailed the lining up of my seams. I was really excited!!! Thank you everyone for your input. |
It looks STUNNING to me. Just be careful not to clip your points off in whatever you seam it to at the outside edge. Just beautiful, so far....

I don't know how many quilts you have made, but that looks very well made and shows great sewing skills. I really like the way it looks.
