I am very happy to be participating again in Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy's Creative Side. This is such a great way for blogging quilters to showcase their quilts - thanks Amy.
My entry is this New York Beauty quilt I made in 2003 using as many brights and floral fabrics as I could find. The blocks were paper-pieced and the quilt was quilted on a long-arm machine. This quilt is special to me because my husband says of all the quilts I have made this is his favourite.
I used a large bright multi-floral print for the backing. The sleeve sewn onto the back is because this quilt once hung on display in a local quilt shop - that also makes it kinda special to me.
I'm off now to check out the hundreds of other quilts on display at Bloggers Quilt Festival.

What can I say? Stunning. I'd love to make one myself, but for some reason resist paper piecing and I know it just doesn't work the same. Congrats on the fabric choices... and on the patience dealing with all those spiky points!

Someday I'll be brave enough to make one of these New York Beauties. Love the bright colors and setting you used. No wonder hubby loves it. Thank you for sharing your quilt's story :)
