I love paper piecing and don't find it too wasteful, as I cut pieces as I go from WOF strips of each fabric and keep a pile of leftovers to use for appropriate spaces in the next arc. Look at books by Deb Karasik and by Karen Neary for inspiration and patterns. They have fabulous updated takes on NYB.

Yes, without a doubt, my DH is a keeper ;-).
I've always wanted to do one too. Imagine cutting one pyramid each from a thousand fabrics though! Yikes!
I love the quilt you're working on and your workmanship. I am honestly considering doing a PP NY Beauty quilt still, probably with older fabrics and things I won't use for anything else. I have to remember that I have a trash can full of tiny trimmings from other quilts. Quilts always have some waste.
