Poynette Beauty

Created for Project Quilting Quarantine 2020 Q.3 Vintage challenge.

So, as I completed PQQ2020 Q.2. Floral challenge, I commented that my luck would be that the next challenge would be something upcycled. No, the next challenge is Vintage. HMMMMM..... I used vintage linens as part of the last challenge. OK. I guess we'll use them again. I have plenty of hand dyed vintage linens. And some of them need to be cut up, because they are not in good enough condition to be used for their original purpose.

I went looking for a simple block pattern to make a 4 1/2" mini quilt, since my daughter-in-law, Kim, (yes, the creator ot Project Quilting Kim) has decided mini quilts is just what she's needs in her newly painted bedroom. Hey, I can complete my challenge and win some Brownie points with my DIL. Everyone always need those.

So, I thought, find a simple block. But,last week, I started making a New York Beauty quilt. I've been possessed by string quilts for more than 2 years. And last week, I had to make a New York Beauty. New obsession. When it's time, it's time. Vintage linens and tiny paper piecing. Probably not a good idea, but, hey, how do you know that before you try.

So, I made this tiny New York Beauty block. Not simple, but worth it.
