One of my projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2015 is bowtie blocks, and I have been trying to make 45-50 blocks each month. When I found out that purple was the color of the month for April, I wasn't sure I would have enough purple scraps to make that many blocks. I was pleasantly surprised to discover plenty of choices, and have completed 33 blocks so far. I have another 15 or so blocks cut out and ready to stitch.

| Rainbow Bowties 4" blocks |
I pulled out a box of blocks that were extras when I made a baby quilt for a co-worker last year. It turns out that these blocks perfectly match the colors we have been assigned for the RSC for the first 4 months this year--blue, pink, yellow and purple. I played with a few layout ideas, ending up with this chevron design. Now I'm ready to start sewing them together.

Your bow ties in purple AND the bow tie chevrons are lovely. I have hardly any purple scraps so am pretty much done unless I find a few little bits and bobs...hugs, Julierose

ReplyDeleteOh, what an unusual layout for bowties. How cute is that!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! I had no idea you were making so many bow ties each month. It's helpful to have them ready to sew up into a quick quilt though, isn't it?
