Hi everyone, A long time ago I bought a panel of New York Beauty foundation. I have no idea how to use it. I've searched the internet but all that comes up is paper piecing. The designer was Sharon Hultgren but i don't know if she's very active anymore.
There are about 9 blocks, printed with the pattern and it would make a nice wall hanging.
Since I'm from New York I've always wanted to do one, but with accuracy on those billions of points. Plus it's a gorgeous block, as many of you know.
For the record I'm terrible at paper piecing
Any info? Thanks in advance

I searched for "Sharon Hultgren New York Beauty" and got excellent responses.

One of the links goes to a website that still sells the pattern on foundation fabric. It says the instructions are included. Does your package not have the instructions? Maybe contact the company and ask for a copy of the instructions.

I've just been watching this video of Eleanor Burns and it seems to be similar, though not sure if your panel is iron-on adhesive, but it could be used the same way. If you watch till 19.00 mins. she uses a pre-printed block.

I thought foundation piecing and paper piecing were pretty much the same thing, the difference being you don't need to remover the "foundation" fabric like you need for paper piecing. I'm curious what others think.

Foundation piecing is the same process as paper piecing, you just leave the foundation in instead of tearing away the paper. I much prefer Foundation- I hate removing papers. I have done New York beauty blocks with the printed foundations many times- my preferred method. Just follow paper piecing instructions. You just don't have to tear papers away.

Okay, I think I can do this. Thanks everyone!!
