Bow Tie Quilt

My next quilt project will be...drumroll please...

A Bow-Tie Quilt!

Inspired by this post and guided by this post, I decided to use my red scraps and pair them with a lovely grey solid.

I've calculated that I will need 210 blocks to make a queen-sized quilt. Last night, I put together 30 blocks.


I like this layout.


And I think this is my favourite block.


A fun new project to work away at...in those times when I am sick of working on my new course and reading the huge 659-page textbook.

    That is a great scrap buster. I am loving all the new bow-tie projects going around. Working my way through the HST phase now, LOL! I love the red fabrics you are using.
