August Bee Blocks

Our Threadbias Ausbee Queen for August requested some Mini Bow Tie Blocks.


I haven't made these before, so I'm very happy to add them to my repertoire!


The fabrics to be used were cream for the backgrounds (cream prints OK) and for the bow ties themselves she requested bright jewel colours, thirties prints, dot/spot or florals.  I didn't have any thirties prints on hand but the Avant Garden fabric range covered the rest ...


Job done!

  3. This is such a great line - I hadn't seen it before. It's going to be a stunning quilt if your blocks are any indication!!

  6. I saw a quilt's worth of these blocks on the weekend and they looked great as their owner was laying them out. It will be a fun quilt.
