"NEW YORK STATE OF MIND" - ONE BLOCK WONDER

Another challenge quilt between Lorraine and myself from the book " One Block Wonder" by Maxine Rosenthal.

The fabric, purchased at "The City Quilter" in New York is part of their Grand Central Line.

It's just magnficent fabric, soft and has a great hand.

This quilt was relatively fast to put together, but to arrange the blocks, I would use the camera on my phone to get the blocks in the right spot. I would then put it on black and white to check the tone.

I did have to get the inner borders and the back (same line) on a random unplanned trip to NYC last July.

I managed to get the to finished in time for the Scquilters Restreat in Canberra.

Just love this.

Quilted by Sharon Vickridge- Smith with a New York Skyline pattern.

CHALLENGE: ONE BLOCK WONDER -SCQUILTERS CANBERRA RETREAT 2015- PART SIX

You'll have to excuse the outer edges around the top, but this is the biggest piece of floor I have. This is my One Block Wonder, just the flimsy but ready to go to the quilter (as soon as the back is pieced).
I Love it. I think it looked best far away, but love it.
The inner borders are fabrics from the same NYC Grand Central Lind and the main border is 6" of the original fabric. The back will be the same blue as the inner border.
Happy Quilting. Next time you see this one it will be finished.
