New York Beauty Quiltalong update

I'm not gonna lie - I am ADDICTED! I began the New York Beauty Quiltalong last night and completed one square:

Then tonight I thought I would do another in a contrasting pattern:


Then I thought I'd experiment with other colours, and well... I got carried away! I'd made 4 squares before I knew where I was:



It's just gone together so easily. I love how I don't have to think about it, once you're in the zone you just keep sewing, folding, trimming pressing, sewing, folding, trimming, pressing, etc etc...

However, this is next week's block:

eeeek! :-O So this may be famous last words, but as of right now I LOVE New York Beauty!

  4. How exciting! It looks like a hard block yet you said it is so easy. Was is done by paper piecing? Will you be doing the entire quilt in purples? Peggy

  8. This looks stunning, purple is my favourite colour and the contrasting sections really complement each other.

    I've never tried paper piecing, but if you can do the first block (which you obviously can!) I'm sure that you can do the next too.
