Where can I find the quilt pattern called Arkansas Beauty?
Answers:
The links above both show the quilt in question. It is NOT the same as the New York Beauty pattern, which involves curved piecing. I subscribe to American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, and there's a number to call to order back issues (800-678-8092). I don't know if they'll have issues from 1995 still, but it's worth a try. If they don't, they might be able to tell you if it has been published in any of the books, like Quilt-Lovers' Favorites.
Also, you could contact the creator, Irma Gail Hatcher, directly. She'd most likely be able to help you.

"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.
