    Default 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.

    Beautiful use of color! I would probably quilt in some ghost NY Beauty blocks in the black areas, which look like they are beneath the pieced ones, partly exposed.

    Watson, that is spectacular!!! New York Beauty is one I want to do but have been really intimidated by all those points!
    Everything about it is fabulous.

    ​Beautiful top! I might SITD the NYB parts and do ripples in the black around the center.

    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.
