There are an equal number of solid and print fabrics, and I paired them together to make these six-inch bowties. Then, I alternated the solid and print bowties in the layout, and I love the effect.
I got all of the leftovers turned into a cool pieced back and basted it (I can't wait for you to see the back side). And there were even enough scrap strips for a pieced binding. I used thirty six fabrics in this quilt, with hardly any scraps added to my jars. And once again, I didn't have to buy a single bit of fabric. This quilt didn't completely eliminate this color in my stash, but it's pretty close.
I'd love to get this one finished up in short order, but that is not going to happen. We are leaving for vacation this weekend (yay!), and the rest of the week is set aside for housecleaning, laundry and packing. It will just have to wait until I get back.
On that note, NTT will be taking a break next week!

Your latest quilt is gorgeous, one of my favorite shades
ReplyDeleteOh those colors sing together, and I think the mix of prints and solids helps add a delightful sparkle. Have a wonderful vacation!

ReplyDeleteAmazing quilt! I didn't realize it was bowtie. All I see is the circles. Great colours.
