I wanted to try making scrappy Bow Ties so I whipped up a baby quilt using some bright-coloured, novelty fabrics.
This is small (24" x 30") so it's going to need some borders, but I think it will make a nice gift for a new baby.
And here are the reds I found at the quilt shop. There wasn't much of a selection in fat quarters but I'm happy with these four for now. I'll try the other quilt shops and see what they have.
I also found another nice red print in my stash, left over from making Anne Sutton's A Tisket A Tasket BOM last year. I made four more Bow Ties out of it.
These blocks are a bit addictive...and kind of mindless, which is exactly what I need right now!

Great baby quilt.....good idea to do that with lots of bright colors! I like the added reds you found so far for the big quilt, too. Keep up the good work!
Sweet baby top! Fun! Love reds!
Love the mini! I can check my stash and see what I have in red if you need some others...
What a fun quilt....
Super cute. Love the colourful bowties ... I always say I want a mindless quilt next -- like I want to do a snowball quilt -- but it never happens -- or hasn't yet. But I want to. This fall. Something straight ahead, but with a million different fabrics. Those bowties acrually might be an awesome choice too.
I really love the bright colors! Makes for such a fun little baby quilt§
Your baby bows are cute.
I love that red fabric you've used in your bottom bowtie. Have you decided how your going to set your blocks?
That's a great little baby quilt...
I just bought that same red - cherries - it is so cool!!!
