I, of course, joined the Bow Tie block challenge that Bonnie Hunter sent out. But I must say - I'M SICK OF BOW TIES. It would help if I would go back to using them as leader/enders. But for the last two weeks they are all I have been working on. And I haven't been working on them much. There are over 500 made. I'm pretty sure that it will take nine hundred to make a queen size quilt out of the 3" blocks. So the fact that I am just over half way does not make me a happy camper.
This is my drawer of blocks. They are packaged 50 blocks to a bag.
These are the stacks that are cut into sets. I'll need more neutrals before I can make much more progress.
And here are my first four 12" blocks. I finally broke down and started to put together some of the blocks. Otherwise I was going to put that drawer full of blocks back into its place, close it, and call it a day. It takes 16 of the bow ties to make one 12" block. That should help put it into perspective. I haven't decided on a layout yet. I've looked at several different layouts and will make a decision after I've made a few more blocks.
Happy sewing,
Julie
