Good Morning Quilters!
I am making progress on my bowtie blocks UFOs. Here is the design wall with my yellow skirt fabric and the solid red bows. It will finish at 45 inches square.
The method of construction I used is the old fashioned method of five pieces of fabric in a block. I sewed the middle square to the long inside part of two background fabrics. Then I sewed the other two sides of the middle bow piece to the long inside edge of two red outside bow pieces. What was next was sewing the four short seams to connect the red bow pieces to their corresponding background pieces. I am not good at Y seams, needle down and swiveling way, and this method was easier for me than doing that. Hope this makes sense to you.
The next set of bowtie block pieces in this UFO box, (that I asked you for background advice about) have been waiting for their turn. I have decided to use solid color off white (muslin color) as I have lots of it in my stash. Thanks for all of your advice. It helped.
These guys are next and they will also finish at 5 inches square:
What is on your design wall this week? It is always a treat to read your blogs and see your project pictures. Remember, you don’t technically need a design wall to participate. Just show us what you are working on. Thanks for participating!
