Well everyone, today is the last day of the series. First off, I want to thank everyone for following along and posting your completed New York Beauty blocks to the Flickr group. The amount of talent, even from first-time paper piecers, has been astounding! It was also great that everyone was so helpful and supportive, especially with asking and answering questions in the group. Thank you for making this a great success!!
The last block’s tutorial was written by Lindsay from Lindsay Sews. Lindsay has some great tips in her post about how to keep the same color in the end of your block, as for the start of your next one (if you are making 4 of them). Click on over here to see the full tutorial!
Thank you to all of the wonderful guest posters who spent a lot of time on the tutorials to make sure everyone would be able to follow along. We could not have done it without you! Take a bow! 🙂
thank you so much for this series… although I have not kept up to the schedule these wonderful tutorials have given me the confidence to try….

I have watched in awe! Great series x
Thank you for organising this QAL, I would never have thought a couple of months ago that I would be capable of turning out NYB blocks and here I am a bit behind but not phased by the coming blocks at all! Congrats too to all the contributors who have made this such a great experience.
Thanks for organising, it was great fun :o)
I hope to try my first NYB this weekend…a direct result of this fantastic inspiration and support. Thank you so much for putting this series together.
Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge, with pleasure I collected all the blocks and the tutorials and I’m looking forward to start sewing! Is there a final tutorial planned?
Thanks for the wonderful blocks. An alternative to your paper, which may color off on fabrics, might be Carol Doak’s Paper Piecing paper. She developed it after 25 years of teaching paper piecing. You can find out more about the paper, as well as help with determining sizes of fabric to cut for your blocks. Her methods of sewing and assembly of blocks assures a top notch quilt with matched pieces of blocks every time. You will find her at http://www.caroldoak.com
Again, thanks so much for these awesome blocks you have all created. They truly give me lots of ideas for quilts, but also table runners, pillows, and even placemats with partial blocks.
I don’t think my comment got posted; I’m trying to find out how to download a template for Block 8 of the NY beauty series. The links did not lead anywhere. If anyone can help, Please contact me at [email protected] or [email protected] Thank you, Karen
