I've been perusing Flickr for ideas and decided to make a New York Beauty! Here's the first finished block. Would you believe I've never paper pieced before? I thought it was pretty fun actually once I figured out what to do. Curved piecing? Um...only if I have to :) I'm super pleased with how it turned out. I'm going to make 4 blocks and sew them into a circle for my central block. I'm proud of myself for using mostly scraps for the colored parts. Here's the link to the pattern I used: New York Beauty #4

That is so pretty! I want to make a New York Beauty someday, but I've always been scared off by the difficulty level
Wow! That is really awesome. I'm a paper piecing newbie myself.
PRETTY! I can only imagine how stunning it will look all put together! Can't wait to see it!
Stunning block!! I am not bad at paper piecing but the curves make me shudder!! One day....

Stunning! Love the colors & design!
I love your block. That is going to make a stunning centre for your round robin.
Gorgeous! I am partial to NYB myself, but have never tried one this complicated.
Gorgeous colours & a very pretty block - your piecing looks perfect!
That New York Beauty is ... a beauty! Seriously, love the rainbow colors. Great piecing too. Thanks for linking up with WIP Wednesday. : )
LOVE that block! so pretty! :) Thanks for linking up to {Sew} Modern Monday!
Absolutely stunning. It's just gorgeous. I tried to check out the pattern you gave a link for, but it's coming up with nothing. Was this a pattern set your purchased? Do you know where I might find it now that it's not featured at the ImageEvent link? Thanks! And congrats on such a great finish.
Is there any chance you still have this pattern? I tried to follow the link but the site is now closed!
