Dee Christopher's New York Beauty - Choose Your Own Adventure Lessons

Make a New York Beauty quilt with the expert guidance of instructor Dee Christopher.

Join Dee Christopher for a "Choose Your Own Adventure" New York Beauty project that allows you to select fabrics and create blocks from 5 unique patterns, arranging them into a layout that reflects your personal style for a beautiful, one-of-a-kind quilt. Follow along and learn with our community as Dee demonstrates each step, answers questions, and shares ideas.

Join this interactive, FREE Facebook/YouTube Live class starting Saturday April 26!

What will you learn while you make your New York Beauty?

Paper piecing with sharp angles and points.
Creating contrast with similar value fabrics.
Stepping outside your box and learning to enjoy and grab ahold of it.
Trusting your own instincts in designing unique blocks.
Color theory in a non traditional placement.

When the class is complete, you will have a quilt top ready for finishing!

Re: NYB corner blocks…. Fold or mark the block, once diagonally. Stitch 1/8” on both sides of the fold. The bias is stabilized as a result. (Hint from Alex during her ‘basket class’ 5 or so years ago!)

my arc on block 2 must have stretched as it would not fit to arc C without tiny pleats. B C and A went on nicely. And the block was wonky because of arcs.
Is there a rule for placing patterns on fabric as to straight of grain? Should I stay...

This is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" class, so no two quilts will be the same!

To make a quilt similar in size to the one in the image above (34 x 34 inches), Dee recommends that you have :
1.5 yards or 10-12 fat quarters of low volume light fabrics for your quilt background
2.5 yards or 12-18 fat quarters for paper piecing and spikes
To make a larger quilt, you will (of course!) need additional fabrics.

No pattern purchase is[/b] necessary- the block patterns will be available as a FREE download when the class begins.[/b]
