My bow tie quilt is now a finished top and ready to be added
to the to-be-quilted-queue. It
measures approximately 56 ½ X 68
1/2 Inches and has 952 bow tie units that finish at 2 inches. Fabrics came from my stash and the generosity
of friends and I love its bright colors.
I also love the empty project box, something of a rarity here.
It was inspired by a quilt by Florence Edith Goggin that was
published in the May 2000 issue of Quilters Newsletter magazine. The
original was pieced by hand, with no fabric repeats. I tried to create as much fabric diversity as
possible in my smaller version, but there are definitely numerous repeats.
It has lots of bright prints in it and it makes me happy to
look at it. When I had it on the ironing
board, the sun shining through it reminded me of stained glass.
I have a friend in my Tuesday group who is also working on
this project. I’ll offer to let her have
my cut out remnants and orphan pieces.
Acorns are good this year and we have a lot of these little
critters visiting us.

Wow! It's beautiful. Love the brights in the center and darker bow ties around the border. Congrats!
so many tiny pieces! I can see why you stopped at this size :) it looks wonderful. The squirrels have demolished acorns and hickory nuts around here too.
Your quilt is just amazing! I love the texture it creates.
love it a lot! It is so awesome with all the movement and texture the variety of fabrics give.
