NEW YORK BEAUTY II

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Explore the possibilities by making a variety of New York Beauty blocks with various sized points and arcs. Mix and match the 8-inch blocks or choose a favorite and work with it. All points are paper pieced and all curves are sewn, no appliqué.

FABRIC: To make scrappy blocks bring a collection of a dozen or more fabrics you like in at least fat quarter sizes. Bring various sizes and scales of prints: florals, plaids, checks, etc. Include lights, mediums and darks, the usual scrappy mix. For the points to show up you will fabrics with high contrast between the fabrics in the points and the point backgrounds. The points will be clear and distinct if these fabrics read as solids. Save the busy, interesting prints for the larger sections of the block.
