Suns on my Sunroom Floor

Look! Look! What can this be??  Why it's my sister's quilt laid out on my sunroom floor. 


Which means I'm working on it again.  I froze briefly when needed more corners - I couldn't remember how I pinned the pattern to cut the piece.  Even cutting a few more border pieces caused consternation as I recalled how to measure it.  How could I get that out of practice in just a few weeks?  Setting up the ironing board caused another moment of recalling what I needed and where they were.

The NYBs are three different sizes.  Several of them were grouped together, which requires no further modification.  But there's a handful that are assembled with larger pieces.  Those require another arc added so the outer edge of the circle is smooth.

I'm looking at this photograph and seeing a few things that could be moved around color-wise.  The goal is to have the adjustments and a flimsy complete by the end of the week.  Oh, that would be lovely!

  4. Oh, this is going to be gorgeous! NYB is on my bucket list to make. I just need to get my nerve up and get over my dislike for paper piecing. I just love your colors.

  7. Absolutely amazing! I have been working on curve piecing but not to your level. I would love to do a New York Beauty. Love how they run out into the borders.
