Crazy Beauty











Here it is--Crazy Beauty--my latest finish.  It has been complete for awhile—well, almost complete--but I am now finally posting pics.  I call it Crazy Beauty because the blocks are the New York Beauty pattern, courtesy of lenzula.de. , but I was crazy for trying to make a quilt featuring these blocks.  I found the paper pieced patterns several years ago (2017?) on Ula’s website.  The border was inspired by a similar quilt which Little Island Quilts made featuring this border.   My friend Gail suggested the arrangement of the blocks.   I machine quilted the quilt and finished using the first scalloped binding that I have done.  Each quilt presents its own challenges and teaches me something new, whether it’s something about sewing or piecing or color choices.  I’m happy to have this one finished.
