Cutting

Maroon checkered fabric

  • Cut a square from the fabric. This will be between 40’’ to 44’’ depending on the width of the fabric.
  • Fold the fabric in quarters to find the centre. Lightly press to leave an imprint in the fabric.
  • Draw a 25’’ circle on the back. This is the sewing line. Mark quarter points between each imprint line.
  • Cut 1/4’’ inside this line (24 1/2’’ radius).

Binding fabric

  • Cut 5 strips 2 1/2’’ x WOF (Width of Fabric) for binding.

Construction Overview

The steps in this are identical to those for Trail 1, Trails (page 64 in Twist & Turn Quilts).

1. To construct the path, join each arrow to its neighboring path piece and press.

2. Join the 12 sections for the inner path together. Make 12.

3. Join the 12 sections for the outer path together. Make 12.

4. Join the two path sections together. Press and set aside.

5. Print four copies of the foundation papers on light weight paper or vilene. Join together the 24 dark maroon Inner Wedges and the 20 green Outer Reversed Wedges.  

6. Piece the four New York Beauty Sampler sections.

Note: the points are shorter and don’t go as far as either edge of the arcs allowing them to float in the final block … this means that your points won’t be cut off when joining to surrounding fabric.

7. Trim seam allowance to 1/4’’ on all sides.

8. Join the sections together.

9. Sew the inner circle into the middle of the New York Beauty Sampler.


10. Sew the completed NYB into the path.



11. Sew the path into the background.

12. Join the binding strips using 45 degree seams. Trim seam allowance to 1/4’’. Press seams open. Press in half lengthwise.
