I got about as far as this...
with my New York Beauty bee quilt,
when I decided I didn't like it!
I had previously played around with this layout,

| Sorry, poor lighting! |
but again, wasn't totally happy, I think because it
was long and narrow.
So today I made another block....
to bring the total number to twenty-five!
And there is a little clue hiding here
to where this is headed.
To check for balance I made a black and white
photo too.
Oh, and it seems I have rotated it too!
I have moved a few blocks around and hope to make
further progress on this soon.
Happy sewing!

I like where you are going with your New York beauty....loving the totally improvisational fabric choices in each block.
Such a great decision, though I love NYB blocks any which way! Love where this is going!
I love these NYB blocks--you've inspired me to want to make some but maybe bigger. I really like how the b/w photo of the blocks.
I think you're on to something!
It is going to be spectacular. I love the idea of the black and white to check color balance.
I like. I like a lot. I should make better use of the black and white photos to check my values . . . I'm guilty of too many middle values and not enough on either side.
You got this! :) -Jean
Love the colours, I am sure what ever you decide to eventually do, it will look awesome.
Looking great! Twenty five gives good balance with a square quilt, but you still have time to change your mind.
I gather your machine is back and foot is working well to drive it!
(Love the bears in the bottom right corner!)
I am glad to see I am not the only one who changes plans as I go. I like all those bright colors.
Can't wait to see where this is headed...I can't find your clue, so I'll have to wait!
Ohh a mystery!! I can see why you were not happy with the dark sashing... it somehow looks bleak, not matching the vibrancy of the NY beauties at all. I shall wait with bated breath!
I'm curious to see where this is headed! I love your blocks!
