I have finished 4 blocks of the New York Beauty and that may be all I do....but I am still hanging on what to do with the borders....I need to consider it some more....
I like quilts with an odd number of blocks....but this one may break with tradition....
these are not sewn together yet....sorry for the wrinkly blocks...and the bad picture...I need a new camera
Today I took down a quilt I have had hanging for a very long time...and replaced it with my Dresden Plate quilt....I am getting mixed reviews....
Everyone loves the quilt - just not sure if they love it hanging. It is very bright....which I like...but maybe too bright for my great room? So now that I have made my husband add more holes to the wall to hang this larger quilt...what am I to do? I guess I will just have to make a quilt for that space....hmmmm.
Did you watch the wedding? She was a lovely bride!

Those new york beauty blocks are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd yep watched the wedding, Kate looked beautiful!
Kate was a beautiful bride! I love the NYB blocks and I also think odd numbers is the way to go but they do look lovely together! And the Dresden's on the wall...I'll pop over and give you my opinion, shall i?:-)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what was hanging on the wall before but i love the dresdens and these are on my list to do because of you! for some reason I didnt think to make it when flicking through material obsession, but now I have the book on order and I'm going to go for it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful NYB blocks. I love color choices in all of your quilts. They are always fresh and fun!
ReplyDeleteLove love love the NYB blocks...can't wait to see this one all done with borders. Love the dresden...and the wedding--fun to watch. She is a beautful girl...
ReplyDeleteMary
Love them! Mary, you've done it again!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the wedding was lovely!
Leave the Dresden's up, they'll grow to love the happy colors!
ReplyDeleteMary, I LOVE your Dresden Plate. The first time I saw I thought "I have to learn how to do that!!"
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of Mary, I think of color! Wonderful quilts! How do you hang your quilts? Are you a fabric sleeve kinda girl or thumbtacks? Just wonderin!
ReplyDeleteI totally adore the dresden quilt. Bright is good!! And your NYB blocks are to die for. I agree the grouping of four works - I like them set in close proximity.
ReplyDeleteThese NYB's are amazing! They are striking together. Your dresden's are lovely too!
ReplyDeleteOh Princess Kate looked just like Cinderella! True Fairy Tale fashioned wedding!!
Love the NY blocks!! Your family will get used to the Dresdan Quilt and will love it being there.
ReplyDeleteLove the NYB, but absolutely love those Dresdens...I am always a sucker for a Dresden! Love the Sleep quilt too...might have to search for that pattern I think!
ReplyDeleteLove love love!! You have totally inspired me to start my own NYB quilt! I love your take on the block, even with even numbers. I too like odd. Could always do 3 x 3 blocks?
ReplyDeleteLove the dresden plate too. Sometimes it just take people awhile. These is nothing wrong with the quilt, that IS for sure :) Happy I found you blog xox
