PS Arc with points is paper-pieced, the rest is regular piecing. Book it is in is Home for the Holidays. I bought it used a little over a month ago. All of my research lately shows the book is $40.00 all the way up over $900.00...no, that is not a typo...crazy if you ask me!!! The pattern is out of print, found a website that shows it, but also says unavailable if you try and order it...

Yes I agree it is stunning. Teachers are wonderful to have but not necessary. They may have a tip or two that will make it all easier or words of encouragement. There are some of us who have to learn from books and we do fine.

Okay, I've got to make one of these. I love it. BTW, I don't see any pointy arcs. I studied the piecing and I think it is wonderful! I do not have much of a sense of color so I am very impressed with how you incorporated all of those colors - very nice job indeed. Thanks for sharing!

I was lucky enough to find it used about a month ago, I have had several people pm me about it, and I have done a lot of research, the cheapest I could find it last night was $20.95 + tax, and believe me, that appears to be a bargain! here is the link:
http://www.sharmanssewingcenter.com/...ncy-Smith.html
Otherwise the next best price I found it was on Amazon, $39.99, and it went all the way up to over $900.00...no, that is NOT a typo...here is the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Home-Holidays-.../dp/1880972530
I really wish when something was oop there was some way to get a pattern or book without taking out a 2nd mortgage (I know that is a bit melodramatic, but still...
).
Lastly, I want to say that while this quilt looks hard, it really isn't....a lil tedious, yes...hard, not so much...(again, I am a self-taught quilter until I happened upon an awesome lqs...up until then I only had done applique, and all my quilting was by hand..). Its basically 2 blocks, the pp New York Beauty, and the hsts that make up the pinwheels...If I can make this quilt, anyone can make this quilt!!
