In my previous update, I shared that I was sewing the little bow tie blocks into large 8 x 8 blocks.
I have now sewn all but six little bow ties into a flimsy.
When I was finished, and hung the flimsy up to take a photograph, I realized that I had miscalculated. This monster is approximately 75″ x 100″.
What was I thinking????
But the six leftover blocks make a cute 9.5″ orphan block!
Quilt On!
I put in a lot of overtime at work this week, and I was too tired to do much of anything else.
So I laid out some bow ties on the design wall and I like this layout:
I am quite happy with this scrappy project. I’ve used up lots of old fabric and thread spool ends and bobbins of threads. The only new fabric is the cheddar.
I’ve been making bow ties on a nonregular basis since June of 2018.
I may be looking for a new leader/ender project soon.
Quilt On!
Not one, but two finishes to share!
Traffic Jam One and Traffic Jam Two are done!
These two quilts will be gifted to young boys. I sure hope they like them!
Edge to edge stars (I think my stars look more like starfish) are quilted on this one:
And this one has edge to edge swirls going on:
These scrappy quilts were fun to make and the only stash that I shopped was my own!
