Bow-Tie Quilt Top Assembly Issue

Hi Quilty Friends!  I couldn't wait any longer.  It's time to make those 900 Bow-Tie blocks into a quilt.  These blocks can be arranged in a few different ways.  I chose to let each little block speak for itself with this simple layout of all the blocks going in the same direction.  


The quilt is 30 blocks wide by 30 blocks down.  As you can see my design wall is not wide enough to accommodate all the unfinished blocks.  The width of the design wall will hold 24 unfinished blocks. 


The plan was to assemble this quilt in 25 patch blocks as shown below.


The new plan is to piece it in rows.  I've pieced the last three rows on the design wall. I'll do the same for all the rows.  Then the last six unfinished blocks can be added to the end of each row on the design wall.  This will allow me to see all the blocks laid out before stitching the rows to one another.  


Now that I have a good plan this quilt should come together in no time, YIPPEE!

  1. All of the bowties look overwhelming to piece, you got 'em done! The quilt should easily be into the flimsy stage by New Year's. Quilting it on New Years Day sounds like a good way to spend your day. Your quilts are always so bright and cheery, happy stitching in 2025!

  2. So pretty and colorful. Those are long rows and lots of seams to match!
