Using Karen Neary's Maritime Beauty pattern,
I'm going to make a Beauty out of these batiks. I have all the pieces cut out and the papers ready to paper piece the points. BUT, I have no light background fabric that will be used behind the spokes. Eek... I guess I better go fabric shopping on Monday.Do you want to see my prototype Maritime Beauty that I completed last summer? I made this one out of old scrappy fabric because I signed up for the class at the last minute. I love how this scrappy beauty turned out and it stays at the cottage. I can't wait to see it again in April or May.
Check back in a couple of weeks, and I'll show you the the completed beauty top. I'll just machine quilt it when I get home.

I can hardly wait to see this, Gail! It's going to be a beauty for sure. It was so interesting the way you did the binding on your first one, a really clever method to use on the curves.
Olympic gold medal hockey at 4 pm (our time) today. Will you be watching? We're all excited!
Still one of my favorite patterns!
Hey Gail...looking good. I checked out your "Maritime beauty" and that certainly is a great name for it. Love the colours..good work, girl...FYI..check out Q is for Quilting blog...she has a 1922 quilt pattern book there for download and the last page has some crazy quilt designs that I've not seen before...I think you'll like them if you haven't seen them..
I can hardly wait to see your finished Beauty. I love your choice of batiks. And lucky you to have an 'excuse' to go fabric shopping! Lucy
Hello Gail, I see you are being very productive down there in the south. Your Maritime Beauty Is definitely Gorgeous. Wasn't the Olympics Games Wonderful. Hugs Judy
