Crown of Thorns or New York Beauty

Crown of Thorns or New York Beauty

Foundation piecing.  Scrap quilt.  According tohttps://willywonkyquilts.blogspot.com/2013/02/new-york-beauty-why-that-name.html?m=1  "Because this pattern was among the most difficult to make, it was most often a "best" quilt. Any pattern name associated with a quilt would've had great meaning to the maker. Crown of Thorns, for example, was thought to be a reference to the Crucifixion."  After 1930 it became commonly known  as New York Beauty.
