    My quilting friends and I took this project on as a challenge. This is a photo of my friend, Janet Taillon's, quilt

      This was the most challenging quilt I have made. I learned a lot and next time, I will take more time to ensure that each stitch is exactly on the line. A lot of shoring up and piecing once finished because once it was completed there was lot of stretching. I also would try something that I did not have to tear out, I believe that caused a lot of distortion. I used a fat bundle of Robert Kaufman that I thought when I got it was the worse match of fabrics. This was the perfect quilt to use all these fat quarters and a few adds. I may put a border on it and will post that later.

          Completed the top, though I'm still thinking about borders. More challenging to work with these fabrics than I expected, but already thinking about another NYB. Different fabrics and layout next time....

        I'm still working on assembling my quilt top. Here's my work in-progress so far. Hope to finish the top later today.

        Also are some photos of the vibrant fabrics that I was asked about. I had made them for some art quilts I was working on last year and decided to also use them in this project. I painted with color and texture in Photoshop, then printed on fabric by Spoonflower.

            I have come to this party late lol, but I really love the variations of the NYB block patterns. I am making several and will later figure out how I will connect them. Thanks for the patterns and the videos. If I had to choose a favorite block, it would be the New York Beauty. Cheers,
