Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Quick-Strip Paper Piecing »

Instructions

Just follow Peggy's extremely accurate instructions and you cant go wrong. So many options with so many fabric combinations - I dont think any choice would be a bad one!

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Mod, Funky


Materials

Jinny Beyer Colourplay fat quarters with Northern Lights background and Rajasthan border. Background of arcs provided by my own stash

What was your inspiration?

Seeing Peggy's blue and yellow quilt on the the course, just loved it.

What are you most proud of?

That I finished the top! And that I managed to get the mitred border corners to look good. And that the colours all went together really well, as it is tricky when you are trying to auditon your fabrics.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I made an error in the pieced border, didnt measure properly - so just to make sure that you check twice, cut once!

when I saw your quilt I knew I had to make it .It is simply beautiful, Then when I looked and saw what fabrics you used and the name of the quilt I was floored.. Jinny Beyers is my favorite fabric supplier and quilt maker, and I picked out the New York Beauty to make for my grandson. But you made my mind up on the fabric to use .Your quilt is really inspiring.

That is lovely, thank you. Yes, she is great and I am very lucky to have caught a workshop with Jinny when she came to Perth, Western Australia. I'm sure you will make a terrific quilt for your grandson, using Jinnys fabrics you can't go wrong!

Your New York Beauty quilt is truly gorgeous!! Your colors all work beautifully together, and are complemented by those fabulous borders. I also love your asymmetrical setting, too - very nice!
