Another February 2022 OMG Update

I know that it is March, but since I made an unplanned trip to visit family in February, I did not meet my OMG goal.

Since coming home, I have been playing the catch up game. So, while I still don’t have my daughter’s patriotic quilt basted, I do have my February 365 Challenge blocks finished.

The center block is also finished.

Onward to March!

Bow Tie Leader/Ender Update

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!

Bow Ties On the Design Wall

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.
