I also wanted to share some examples of the Bow Tie block we're making for February. I made a few in different styles so you can see what different materials might look like.
This is the initial block I made with mostly Moda fabric. I love the 3 Sister designers or anything that looks like that.
This is scrappy Civil War reproduction fabric we had left over from a school project my daughter did a few years ago. She made the Underground Rail road quilt.
This is the block with 1930's reproduction fabric. Scrappy look too.
This is a look if you used just 2 fabrics...background fabric and your print fabric.
This is mostly Thimbleberrries fabric I've had in my stash for years. This will be a great Primitive style quilt.

Another request was for a Flickr group so we can all share the blocks of the months we've made. This is my first time opening a Flickr group, so we''ll see if this works for all of us.
Click HERE for the Flickr Group the link....let me know if I did that right! LOL
Happy Sewing,

Very pretty, Karen! Scrappy is best in my book :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post, Karen. Will do my Bowtie block in a day or two. DD and I will be flying out Wednesday to the Puyallup, WA Sew Expo so it may when we return.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this BOM. You're always so wonderful.
