I think this time I have to choose the Vintage New York Beauties quilt I made a little while ago from Valori Wells book 'Radiant New York Beauties' .
Why this one - well, because it was a number of 'firsts' for me!
My first (and probably last) paper pieced quilt.
My first attempt at applique using the freezer paper method - something I will try again as I did enjoy it
My first attempt at free motion quilting that wasn't stippling - came out not too bad in the end luckily
So, all in all, even though it took me ages to finish and at times drove me almost mental - it is a quilt that I am proud of now .

Beautiful quilt, thanks for sharing, Elaine
Very beautiful quilt work !
This is the third NYB quilt I've seen so far in this festival and I find it so interesting how the layout and fabric choices make each one different. All so pretty and I like the muted tones in this one. Glad to know you like freezer paper appliqué - that's my favorite method! Yay for all these firsts; you did a great job and this is a lovely quilt.
oooh, i love your quilt - great colors and the border applique is great too!
As always totally awesome!!!
Oh, good choice to share.
I really like this....it's a good size to have handy and enjoy daily. The applique was a beautiful finishing touch.
Congratulations, very impressive quilt:)
What an amazing piece of work! I keep a blogroll of UK fresh modern quilters on my blog so I'll add you (I appreciate you're not in the UK so it's kind of cheating!).
It's really wonderful and every time I see it I think I should finish my NYB!
A gorgeous quilt, you've done a fabulous job!
can't beat paper piecing for accuracy. not too crazy about ripping the paper off, but the end result is worth it!
