Very pretty quilt. I know you are proud of it. For a beginning quilter it would be a challenge. For someone who likes paper piecing, it would be fun.
The New York Beauty blocks are a favorite of mine even though I haven't made a quilt using them yet. It's on the bucket list. One day.....
Just curious - How big did your blocks finish? I am guessing a 12 or 15 inch block. Am I right?

A little back story of this quilt: A good quilt "sister" of mine wanted to make this quilt...she tried to take a class, but would not have been able to go to the 1st meeting due to work constraints..I told her I would try and find the pattern for her..some great peeps here on qb helped me locate the book this quilt is in. I bought it, and my friend and I were discussing her making it. Some other quilters who had been in the class were listening and told us we would not be able to make this quilt without going to the class, as it was so difficult..My friend was offended, as she said no one really knows what someone elses skill level is...I agreed, and somehow was roped into making this quilt, too...
...So, I finally have it ready to border and then quilt...I also am eating crow, as I really only made the quilt to see if I could...but now I really think it is a pretty pattern...And, I will add that I am certainly not a "master quilter"...I know some of the arcs are a tad "pointy-arcy"...so, if there are quilt police looking, please no tickets or warnings...
...
Regards all,

PS the very bottom is really not that crooked, its the way the quilt was hanging when I took the picture...

This thread was started in 2012...
https://www.homespunhearth.com/detai...ct_id=ZB-POS65 - out of stock but emal for availability
https://www.quiltcreations2018.com/m...ristmas-pickle -$75 if still valid
https://katiemaytoo.blogspot.com/201...le-finish.html -- great blog with hints as to how it was put together
It does look like a New York Beauty block framed with pinwheels if you want to recreate it. The foundation papers for the New York Beauty you want should be available if you don't want to draft them yourself and you do want to paper piece.
Thank you for this rabbit hole! There are a bunch of threads here in the QuiltingBoard asking for help finding the pattern.

According to one of the reviews, this one has the Christmas Pickles pattern https://www.amazon.com/Home-Holidays.../dp/1880972530
I also noticed several of the "Home for the Holidays" books on ebay.

This quilt looks to be a fractured pickle dish pattern. Here is a place to start.
