I am so happy to show you a finished top. One which has taken a few years to finish.
In January of 2021, I started this New York Beauty quilt of Karen K Stone's for a challenge online.
And with the distractions of so many projects going on as well as the recovery of Covid, it was set aside with a beautiful box of assembled fabrics. And I finished all the curved blocks last year.
At the beginning of the year I tackled it again, although I have not blogged about it. And after finishing the top to my Blockheads, I was on a roll to finish this one. Only then I found out, I had not completed all the border blocks. I got pretty good at paper piecing.
But pushing ahead, I then got productive and completed the assembly:
Center;
Border decisions:
And the top ALL sewn together:
YEAH for me! And all those willy nilly seams went together easily.
Beautiful! You can be proud of this quilt! New York Beauty is on my list of quilts to make someday.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation! It's beautiful! Isn't it wonderful to finish an old UFO, always makes me wonder why I stopped working on it.
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is so gorgeous!!! A labor of love:)
ReplyDeleteit turned out so good!! now you are ready to quilt it?
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE IT! I started a NYB, but it's on the back burner after only 2 blocks made. I don't like my 2nd block. LOL. So I need to scrap it and just start making new ones.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, Debbie! I am partial to NYBs and yours is beautiful. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWoW and then some. It's gorgeous. You must be thrilled to have made so much headway. I love the bright cheery colors. Congrats.
