Bowties

I've gotten a few of the blocks so far and they are so cute! Every time I lay them all out on the bed to see what the finished product will look like. And Dalana, I have to say, I was a little skeptical about the yellow and black fabric, but the pictures don't do them justice. I love the fabrics you chose!
Thanks everyone, this quilt is going to look great in the NURSERY! (Baby A. arriving March 26th-ish!)

More Bow Ties

Dalana's Block

My Drunkard path quilt squares.

I have received almost all of the squares and wanted you to see how awesome ya'll did.  Thanks so much.

FYI

I went ahead and sent my address in a facebook message. All of the blocks are looking so cute!

Rochelle's block

Here is the other finished block.  I am sending them today.  I have only received 5 blocks.  Wasn't sure how this was working but I had your address from when you sent your block.

Thanks and enjoy!

OK, Here is mine I still have Rochelle's to do. It is cut and ready to sew. I will post when I get it done.

1st time for everything!

Am I really the first to get mine done?!?!?!

This block was very refreshing to do.

Simple and Cute!

Hope you like it Robz:)

September...The Mini Bow-Tie

I decided to pick the "mini bow-tie" because it kind of reminded me of a linoleum floor pattern, weird I know, but it somehow reminds me of home. The colors I'd like everyone to use are Yellow (like primary color yellow) and Gray.

(I really like bold prints, so have fun with the fabrics!)

What you'll need:
1 Gray fabric
2 Different Yellow fabrics

Stuff to Cut:
Cut the Gray fabric into eight 3 & 1/2 inch squares
Cut Yellow (1) into four 3 & 1/2 inch squares and four 2 inch squares
Cut Yellow (2) the same as Yellow (1)... four 3 & 1/2 inch squares and four 2 inch squares
Now time to sew!
First, take the 2" squares and draw a line corner to corner right down the center. You'll sew on this line.
Next place the little 2" squares lined up in the corner of each gray square,right-sides together, pin and sew on the line you marked.
Last cut off the outside edge of the 2" square that you sewed to the gray block. I lined the seam up on the first line on my ruler thing which was about 1/4" and cut it off. Open the square and press the seams toward the gray side.
Once all the little squares are sewn the the corners of the gray squares your ready to put it all together. I would like the yellow "bow ties" paired up in opposite corners.
I found it was easiest to sew the squares together in pairs, then 4 blocks then all together (see pics)
And, the finished product!
You might notice that the colors change, I made a couple blocks so that I could make the quilt a row bigger since I wont use any sashing between the blocks. Anyways, the second block came together easier than the first by using this method.

I'll be looking forward to seeing the finished blocks!

silly internet...

So I promise I am not being a slacker. I got home to find that the internet and cable were out. apparently there were outages all over colorado...pretty sucky. anyways, internet permitting, the tutorial will be up tomorrow. it'll be much easier than trying to blog from my phone.

Georgia's Quilt

I loved your quilt block. I thought it was so easy. I thought it looked hard but once I got going I thought...Wow this is so cool. When you get all of your blocks and put it together you had better post it. I thought it was great and the colors ought to look good together. (I can'tcomment for some reason so I have to do a new post). I think we have an awesome group...it is great!
