Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this quilting class:

Learn to make the New York Beauty block and its variations the Sarah Bond way.

This is a great technique for creating those perfect points every time. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple New York Beauty block and I’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll continue on to variations including flying geese, multiple sets of points and triangles, and long points with narrow outlines. You can try all the variations or just stick with the ones you like. 

I’ll provide instructions and a set of patterns for each student to take home, as well as all the patterns you need to use in class. Towards the end of the class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you.

Skill Level:

This class is suitable for confident quilters from advanced beginner to experienced. Some experience with paper piecing will be helpful, but is not essential. All the techniques used will be reviewed and one-on-one assistance will be available.

Required supplies to bring with you (all available for purchase at Gotham Quilts except the paper & pencil):
  • rotary cutter
  • cutting mat
  •  24″ ruler
  • pins
  • paper & pencil for notes
  • Fabric: The New York Beauty is great with all kinds of fabrics. You can use patterns, solids, and/or stripes. Things to think about when choosing fabric? Do you want all your blocks to have the same backgrounds or different backgrounds? Do you want a clean graphic look or a scrappy look? If you want to be bold, bring along some large-scale prints to experiment with.

If you have fat quarters and large scraps, these are great for the arcs. Alternatively, ¼ to ½ yard cuts of 5 or 6 complementary fabrics will give you enough fabric to complete a good number of arcs.

Each block consists of the arc, the center and the background. You can get background for 4 blocks from 1/3 yard of fabric. Five 1/2 yard cuts will give you enough backgrounds for 30 blocks. Bring enough fabric for background for a couple of squares to the first class. Borders will mean extra yardage.

This is a workshop where you will be learning technique. Bring enough fabric to play with, but know you may be changing and modifying your pallet as you design your quilt. There’s a lot to fit into our workshop day, but we’ll have fun creating and inspiring one another all day long!
