Dazzling NYB Sampler Quilt Blog Hop

It’s time for some NY Beauty fun!

Whenever I hear of new authors needing quilters to help promote their new books I often happily sign up!

Cinzia White is the author of Dazzling NYB Sampler Quilt Blog Hop

and what a great book and quilt this is!!

Have you ever done a NY Beauty block? they can be quite intimidating, but if you work on one at a time, it’s not bad at all 😉

I got the book as a PDF and had to pick a block and it was “hard” to pick, I really like flying geese in a circle, so that was my starting point, then I started noticing the names of these blocks and picked “hairy nose” LOL- hilarious, I emailed Cinzia with my choice and a comment about the names and this is what she replied.

Some Aussie animals have weird names. I thought that was a better way to name the blocks rather than A7 or B4 etc.

Then I had to pick some colors and I was looking at my scrap pile next to my ironing board and I had recently worked with these metallic fabrics from Michael Miller, so I figured I’d use those and add a bit more of my own so I added some grey and white and once I was on a roll, the block pieces came together quickly.

And sewing the pieces together into a block wasn’t hard either

I quilted the block onto batting and made it into a pillow!

A fun project!

You can get the book or e-book here from C&T

    I have made a few New York Beauty blocks but not an entire quilt! Love the pillow!

  4. Janet Nancy

    I have not made one as yet, but do have it on the near future list. The pattern I have uses paper piecing, which I need to learn, and will be taking a class for next month. Getting close!

  5. Anorina

    I’ve only ever made a couple of NYB blocks as they seem a little bit tricky. I really should embrace the challenge of them, rather than steering clear.

  7. Delaine

    I have never made a New York Beauty block but making one is on my bucket list. Thanks!

  8. Linda Williamson

    I’ve made a few. My favorite is in a quilt hoop in my sewing room.

    Hi Bea. I love your block. You are such a multi-talented quilter. Thanks so much for sharing

    I made a large block for a pillow many years age, and also have an unfinished quilt that is paper pieced. If I’m not a lucky winner, I will definitely order a copy

    I have made a few New York Beauty blocks, but have not finished the top yet – still a UFO.

  18. Anja @ Anja Quilts

    Your block turned out great. I’ve never made this block before but would love to try it.

  19. Kathy E.

    No, I haven’t made a New York Beauty block, but it’s been on my list for—ever! I’m sure if I made one, I’d want to make them all!
    Yours is lovely!
