Bow-Tie Quilt Finished!

 Hello Happy Quilters!  After days of not stitching or doing anything quilty related I'm back!  This quilt has been finished for over a week now.  This morning all housework and chores have been pushed aside in order to photograph the finish.

Measuring 90 x 90 makes it difficult to get a good picture.

So let's get up close and personal with this girl.

As you all know I'm no fabric snob.  It's fun to see quilt shop quality fabrics alongside the repurposed and cheap fabrics.

This quilt has moved to the top of my list of favorites.  Each fabric holds a memory from my 30+ years of quilting.  A few fabrics have extra special memories.  Like this pink fuzzy swiss dot.  This is a vintage fabric from my moms stash.   Used to make cloths for me when I was a baby and for my daughter when she was baby.

And another one from her stash.

Here's something interesting that I didn't even notice until I was editing the photo.  Check out the two prints below.  The "newer" fabric is a Lori Holt print.  The vintage fabric I bought in 2011 or 12 at an estate sale.  SAME PRINT different colors!  Now we know where Lori gets all her great ideas.

As you all know I'm not perfect and like to share the good, the bad and the ugly.  So here's the ugly scorched label.  This happened while glue basting it to the backing fabric.  I decided to use it anyway because making labels with the fonts on the sewing machine is so time consuming.  I'll do my best to remove the scorching with peroxide before washing.  If it doesn't come out...oh well.

Today I'll get her washed and on the bed...I can't wait!

Because this quilt is so hard to photograph, I made a video.  You can watch it here on the blog by clicking the image below.  Or  Here's a link to YT
