Modernized New York Beauty - Final

This is a continuation of 8 previous posts about the making of the modernized New York Beauty as part of the Mod Squad Challenge.  I took my time quilting this piece and changed thread colors a lot.  Since I quilt on a sit down longarm, I can only quilt until my shoulders hurt.  I suppose it could be possible to not scrunch them up, and I really do try to consciously relax.  However, I find myself with my shoulders in my ears whenever I think about it.  Then, when they're screaming for a break, I have to quit for the day.  I suppose those working on a stand up longarm have back problems, so there you go.  Its a trade-off.   


I faced it and added a hanging sleeve .  I like that it ended up looking wonky, since it was hand drawn.  It's 58-1/2" x 58-1/2".  (Good thing; the challenge allows quilts up to 60" x 60").

I hope you like it!
