Almost Finished! - New York Beauty


   I kept getting Facebook reminders of a 'memory' from a year ago - a picture of my New York Beauty piece in progress.  The last long post about this piece is here.   This piece is only 36 inches square, so why wasn't I getting it done?  I had started quilting it in August, and then other projects and life took over!  I am happy to report that I am nearly done.  This is some very dense quilting!  Only three small sections, and then binding to finish up this beauty.    I'll post more when it is done!  My local library is again hosting a quilt show, and I am trying to get this done in time to enter!
Almost done - excuse the threads! 
  Here are two close ups of sections of the piece.

     I used turquoise thread against a pale lavender Kona cotton in order to see the quilting, which is overwhelmed by the fabulous Kaffe Fassett fabrics!
    More to come soon!

Take care, and Happy Spring!

    Gretchen this is stunning! I can't wait to see it n person. New York Beauty is on my list & making a less intimidating size may just make this block a reality! Beautiful color combo.
