Question by Patti L: Where can I find the quilt pattern called Arkansas Beauty?
It was published in a 1995 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting from Better Homes and Gardens. It was an April issue. I think it was origionally called New York Beauty maybe.

“Arkansas Beauty” – 1994 – 75″ x 75″
While visiting an Ottoman Empire Exhibit in Memphis, Irma Gail saw an Ottoman plate that was white with navy, red, and blue green decoration. She loved the color scheme and decided to make this quilt with those colors. She also used half square triangles instead of the “pointy” ones used in the traditional New York Beauty Design. This quilt appeared on the cover of American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine, April 1995. It also won Best Arkansas Quilt at the 1994 Arkansas Quilters Guild Show.

There is no ‘pattern’. Best shot is look and recreate.
