When Cinzia invited me to participate in the Dazzling New York Beauty Blog Hop, I was THRILLED. I adore the New York Beauty block, and her versions are - well, dazzling.
I love New York Beauty blocks - and I love that you can go absolutely wild with color if you want. And I did!
It was so much fun playing around with color placement on the block (not to mention choosing WHICH block to start with!).
There are a lot of blocks to choose from - and an absolutely stunning quilt to make if you want to make all of the blocks and stitch them up.
I selected the Platypus block from the book - and finished it as a mini quilt. I played around with a few simple quilting motifs and several different colors and weights of Aurifil threads - everything from 12wt to 40wt!
My final decision is where to hang this happy little quilt so I can enjoy it every day!
Want to make one - or maybe all 54 - blocks? Head over to C&T and grab a copy for yourself! You are going to love all of the different variations of New York Beauty blocks!
But wait - there's more! You could win a copy of the book! I'll select one winner from the comments on this blog post. Visit the other bloggers' posts and let me know which is YOUR favorite! One winner will be selected at random to win a copy of Cinza's beautiful new book. (Winner to be chosen from comments on MY blog post on Monday, January 25th)
