Lively color combinations provide movement and drama, with fabric selections from Tula Pink, in collaboration with Carl Hentsch. Carl Hentsch taught himself quilting and now travels nationally speaking and teaching at quilt guilds and shops.

"In 1930, Mountain Mist, a division of the Stearns and Foster company, published a variety of quilt patterns to boost the sale of quilt batting. In the spirit of the Colonial Revival, designs were based on traditional patterns but were given new names. New York Beauty was one of these patterns. The design is described by Mountain Mist as "a very old pieced pattern dating from 1776" - a highly romanticized notion of quiltmaking in America. Since the 1930's, the name "New York Beauty" has been associated with all quilts made with the same basic design of spiked quarter circles wedged in the corners of square or rectangular blocks, and retroactively applied to pre-1930 quilts."--From quiltindex.org website.
