New York Beauty Quilt Along – Week 6 Block 6

This post is part of the New York Beauty Quilt Along. 
To see schedule and tutorials for all 10 blocks in the series, check here! 

Welcome to Week 6 of the New York Beauty Quilt Along! The blocks have just been zipping by, and thanks for all your hard work! If you’re just joining and would like to catch up on the blocks, feel free, and post your questions and progress to the Flickr Group!

Today’s tutorial for Block 6 was written by Amy from Sukie Don’t You Know Who I Am? She decided to blow up her block to 12.5″ unfinished, at the copy store. Check out her step-by-step tutorial right here!

I still haven’t gotten more background fabric, so I’m going to have to sit this one out! I’m itching to make it though, I love that little inner arc!
