I’ve been dumpster diving at retreats and the Club House; begging, purchasing, and swapping, remnants with friends; and diving into my own
stash. Time to get busy making some more bow tie blocks. Here’s what I
have so far.
The hardest part of making these units is trying to figure
out how to press the seams. I thought I
had it sorted out by twirling seams so they would nest. Then I laid two blocks side by side according
to the pattern only to find that results in a very bumpy join. I think the best solution will be to press
seams open. The bow tie units finish at 2
inches.

Love your colorful bow ties. I haven't made that pattern yet. Have been thinking about my next leader ended project. I've been doing broken dishes in two sizes 3.5 and 4.5 unfinished. I probably should count how many I have and decide on the total amount needed. I'll use any excuse to sew!!!
2"???? I wouuld be insane by now...lol. I would love to contribute some fabrics to this.
wow those are some tiny units! I made a bow tie quilt once and some in it were 6 inches and some were 3 inches
bow tie has always been on my to do list...I love yours.
