Sewing has not been top of my priority list, so it is taking me ages to piece or quilt anything. Today, though, I finally finished a New York Beauty block that has been bouncing around in my head for weeks. It's so incredibly satisfying to finally see it in real life.
Do you remember at the end of March I took a NYB class? I finished one block in red and yellow. The one I finished today is navy and orange, shortly to be followed by pink and green and finally aqua and purple. The idea is to make a 36x36 inch "mini" using four NYB blocks. It will be called Eclipse as the blocks remind me of the eclipse I saw on my way to the my NYB class. It was inevitable really.
Love it. You will see it is not perfect, but I am absolutely getting better. By the fourth I will have this malarkey mastered I am sure. My pinks and greens are pulled and ready to go. Just need to make a few more arc templates and I am ready to roll!

Love your blocks! I love NYC blocks and quilts.
This is a block I've been wanting to try too. Well done for persevering with it.
Great color combinations ! I can't wait to see more.
The NYC blocks love great, I love the colours you chose, it really makes an impact!
I love NYB blocks, and yours are such fun! I look forward to seeing more of these and how you put them together!
It's lovely and a great plan! Nice to see you sewing, even a little here and there.
This is awesome!!! Great colours and can't wait to see the pink and green - my favourite!
This is gorgeous! Another block I should try...
Excellent plan!
I like your inspiration idea. It looks good to me.
It looks really nice and quite challenging! Those curved seams would scare me :-)
It's fabulous! Love the orange pop against the navy.
It's stunning C! Can't wait to see the 4 blocks together! Keep sewing! Jxo
Wow! That looks tricky! Very beautiful though, well done!! Can't wait to see it all together! xx
So good to get something pulling together! Those NYB blocks work better than you expect- well, maybe just better than I expect!- don't they?
Nice colour and fabric! You inspired me and I made a few too :) Not batik but more grown up colour.
fantastic, love those curves and can see where eclipse is coming from
love this block! I've got the templates saved but I haven't got round to making it yet. I like your plan, I look forward to seeing it come together.
Loving your colours - this will be gorgeous!
Love the piecing, have missed your posts lately, though I am myself finding myself buried under a sea of emails and posts to keep up with! ;)
It's stunning!
