New York Beauty Quilts Electrified: 12 Fun, Skill-Building Projects Using Easy Foundation Paper-Piecing Techniques to Electrify New York Beauty Blocks by Linda J. Hahn, Deborah G. Stanley
New York Beauty Quilts
New York Beauty quilts were introduced in the mid-1800s. At that time the textile industry had boomed with new fabrics, giving quilters the freedom to explore complex patchwork designs. Since then, the energetic-looking design—named after the Statue of Liberty's crown—has evolved but the motif's sharp points and technically challenging curved seams have remained steadfast through the years. To this day, it remains a beloved block and a topic of interesting quilt history.
Electrified
Award-winning quilting teacher Linda Hahn introduced her simple paper-piecing technique for clean, precise blocks in New York Beauty Simplified and New York Beauty Diversified. Now Linda is back with more fabulous things to do with this grand old patchwork design!
