Bow Tie Medallion

in quilts

In between working on the “Insanity Revisited” blocks and quilting on the Christmas Quilt I have been cutting and piecing blocks from the 1800′s reproduction fabric that I told you all about last week.  This is what I have done so far:

not the normal kind of fabric I usually work with.

This is not even a quarter of the quilt according to the photo in the book.  I will keep making more blocks and see how many I come up with.  I will end up having to get my design wall out and set up in order to do a good color layout when it comes time to put it together.  I have not been totally concentrating on this quilt but just sitting for short periods of time at the featherweight and making two or three blocks and then get up and do something else. No rush!  It won’t get quilted for quite some time  as I have that big quilt waiting in line before it that I made earlier this year with the circles “Going in Circles”.

Now to get started on that “Insanity Revisited” block that I mentioned yesterday with all the Y seams.  As much as I would like to skip this one it needs to get done so I will struggle through LOL
