BABY BOWS

This past weekend offered lots of sewing time for me. I basically had the place to myself. Hubby was working, kids were away, and I didn't have to work.  This is the end result of the stack of bow tie blocks I showed you in the last post.


The three dimensional blocks went together fairly quickly.


The colours and prints in this are so soft and delicate. I have a box of this type of fabric and while sewing this I was considering digging it out of the closet  : )


I had this piece of border fabric which I thought was the finishing touch as it's one of the fabrics in the quilt. I will hand it back to the owner today, and she will take it from there.

Quilt Stats:
43 x 52
fabrics are a mix of 5" squares
you can 'google' 3D bow tie quilt and get the pattern

    I think you should dig your fabrics out of the closet. I haven't seen a 3-D quilt like this before. It's so soft and lovely!

    Very sweet fabrics, and the 3-d aspect is very unique. I did a TON of sewing this week too, even with my husband and kids here, which isn't normally how it goes around here so I was pretty pleased.

    This turned out so pretty! The bow centers really add to it. It seems both vintage and modern at the same time.

    This is also called a Ten Minute Block or a 5 Minute Block. You can finish the 3-D pieces by "rolling" them and stitching to create a cathedral window look.

    I have two on my blog in low volumes also, back in Aug 2012.

    Lovely quilt.
    Did you figure out why the first one shrank so much? Curious, isn't it?
