New York Beauty blocks, and the myriad of quilts made from them, have always fascinated me. There's something to be said for gentle circular shapes and sharp points. The intricate-looking arcs in the New York Beauty blocks are made using paper-piecing patterns ensuring perfect points every time. "Dawn over Heritage Park" uses two different blocks in two sizes: 8" and 4". The border is paper-pieced, and appliquéd.

Materials: commercial cotton fabrics, rayon thread, Swarovski crystals

Techniques: machine pieced, foundation paper piecing, machine quilted.
