My last quilt of the season is done. I've been wanting to do a bow-tie quilt for many years and decided to just jump right in. I pulled out my sunny, happy scraps in a large variety of patterns. The backgrounds of the bowties are various muslins and beiges from my stash. As always, I didn't worry about straight lines, perfect corners or matching things perfectly. At the last minute I decided to add the yellow border and I'm glad I did.
The backing is unbleached muslin. Light cotton batt. I quilted with heavy yellow thread. Final size is about 80 x 55.
This one is a family favorite already and I've had a request to make one with cherry motifs next year. [I've already got a stack of fabric waiting].
