It is 58 x 66 and used 5 yards of stash. Thanks goes to Bonnie Hunter for creating the bow-tie challenge!
If I make another bow-tie quilt (which is likely because the blocks are such fun) I'll try deliberate color placement -- figure 8's or S's, perhaps; or x's and o's.

Nann, if this top ever needs a new home, I hope you will consider letting me have the honor of doing so...Love this top!
ReplyDeleteLove the scrappy bow ties!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of using a different background from neutrals on my bowties. It looks great and I hope to see one of these in my future as I love bowties. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteNice and the blue makes it pop.
ReplyDeleteWow factor is found in this quilt!!! Very nice, Nann.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking quilt top, Nann! I love the circle placement over the diagonals.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt top and glad to hear you also said it was fun. I so far have only admired the scrappy quilts and am gonna get going on one--even if it is leaders and enders to start.
ReplyDeleteDo you have an idea on how you will quilt it?

This is a great top Nann. I too hadn't thought of using anything but neutrals. I make bowties as my leader/ender on a regular basis. I can't remember how many baby quilts I've made from them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. The turquoise is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! With the different colored "bows" it did give the illusion of winding ways when seen from a distance (as in the small photo on Judy's blog).
ReplyDeleteWow! I really like the background color you used.
ReplyDeleteNice layout for the Bow- ties. I'm playoing with scrappy ones for Bonnie Hunter's Leader/Ender Bow tie Challenge. Some days I just sew a few more 3" ones to add to the bunch. What size were yours?
ReplyDeleteLOL. I have to laugh, I never thought of making the centers darker than the bows. My mind never worked that direction.
ReplyDeleteBut I love it!

That's going to be a wonderful quilt! I love the blue border added.
ReplyDeleteWow! It's gorgeous. Love the background color you chose.
ReplyDeleteReally cool, Nann! the turquoise is a great choice. Did you by chance use up some BB Swap squares? :)

Yes, your border looks great. Love all the different fabrics. What fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is too cool!! I love the turquiose!
ReplyDeleteA really stunning Bow Tie quilt, and the smaller bow ties make it really pop.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing and I love the setting you chose.
ReplyDeleteI love the lattice effect you have achieved. Very pretty quilt.
