It's a finish!
The photo doesn't look much different from the one I posted yesterday, but if you look closely you can see the blue binding.
I used leftover bow ties on the back.
I am low on big pieces of 30's fabric. The green/pink print on the left and the blue/black print on the right are genuine vintage pieces--36" wide.
My 30's stash is down to one shelf.
I have two boxes of genuine vintage fabric . . . but if they haven't been sewn for 50+ years, what's the rush?

I really love your bow tie beauty!!! That is just about how many 1930's fabrics I have, also.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and I really like the backing! Vintage fabrics......I have a bunch that are 20 year old.....getting to the vintage age!
ReplyDeleteThe bowties are a winner! Can't believe I've never done a bowtie quilt, just a block here and there. There are so many interesting ways to set them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Nann. What a joy to use fabric that's been on the shelf for a while, especially when it comes out so beautifully.
ReplyDeletewonderful finish and the back is just great!
