After months of working on the Bow-Tie quilt blocks it is finally a quilt top. The original plan for this quilt was to have no repeating fabrics except for background fabric. I can't say with 100% confidence that it was achieved. There maybe one or two repeats but I haven't found them...YET.
For the backing I used a small calico print. There was not enough of the calico, so I decided to use my Vortex UFO quilt to make the quilt back a little larger.
The backing still was not large enough. A quick dig through backing scraps produced a couple long and narrow white on white prints. They worked out perfectly with very little trimming.
She's loaded to the frame and ready to be quilted with a quick and easy free motion design.

She is a beauty!! And I love how you used your Vortex blocks on the back. Have you decided on what you will bind it with??
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely a beauty. I've enjoyed your Bow Tie Journey. A friend and I were discussing your beauty and are considering making one, too. The use of your Vortex blocks is perfect. So, what's next?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Can't wait to see how you quilt it. Soooo improv with the backing.
ReplyDeleteLots of scrappy fun, front and back, on that project. That's a lot of work to get all those blocks into rows, congrats on the finish.
