In between all the snow I've been sewing away. Finally I finished the NY Beauty circle for the Fab Little Quilt Swap quilt. I'll probably reverse applique it to the background. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, especially since it's the first time that I've ever tried sewing them. I found the patterns from Sew Sweetness' NY Beauty Quilt Along. The only change I made was to reduce the size by 50% so that I'd have 4" blocks, not 8". I can't remember which blocks I used. They were a bit fiddly at that size. Next time I'll try one full size and see how they turn out.
NY Beauty Circle:
It's hard to see in the picture but the "white" background fabric is a white with gold metallic to give a touch of sparkle. Now it's time to attack the flying geese ribbon in the quilt.
