      Introduction

      When I heard Linda Hahn would be writing her next New York Beauty book with her dear friend, Deborah Stanley, I was excited. New York Beauty Quilts Electrified is the third New York Beauty book from Linda, and like the other two books it explores creative designs incorporating the traditional block pattern. In this book, Linda and Deborah showcase the versatility of the basic New York Beauty block by using it in new ways.

      Our love of New York Beauties is what we share in common. A few years ago I wrote a book covering the history of the pattern—New York Beauty, Quilts from the Volckening Collection—and the last quilt in the book was a design called Bensonhurst Blooms from Linda’s New York Beauty Diversified book.

      The creative use of blocks as pictorial elements represented the last word in New York Beauties, but there was much more to the story.

      New York Beauty quilts first appeared in the middle nineteenth century, when the burgeoning American textile industry gave quilt makers the freedom to explore complex, geometric patchwork designs using a surplus of new fabric.

      The radiant sunburst motif was not known as New York Beauty at first. Before newspapers and magazines started publishing and naming patterns around the turn of the twentieth century, quilt block patterns did not really have standardized names at all.

      New York Beauty was the name of a pattern introduced by Mountain Mist in 1930. The company included patterns as a premium, to promote the sales of rolls of quilt batting. Unfortunately, the designers took creative license with the historical account about the inspiration quilt, saying the pattern originated in 1776.
