Carl Hentsch 的 New York Beauties

The curved piecing instructions finally clicked for me—Carl breaks down the flying geese arcs so clearly that my first New York Beauty block came out perfectly flat. The machine appliqué section alone is worth it if you've been avoiding curves.

I’ve been terrified of curved piecing for years, but this book breaks the whole process down so clearly that I tackled my first New York Beauty block in a single weekend. The instructions on machine appliqué are especially well done, and my flying geese arcs came out crisp and perfectly flat.

The curved seams and flying geese blocks that used to intimidate me finally make sense—his method for machine appliqué is so clear that my first New York Beauty block came out perfectly square. I've already started a second quilt just to try more of the foundation piecing patterns.
