I took the first step in making Long Time Gone quilt by Jen Kingwell. I bought the pattern awhile ago but had to finish up a few things before I could start.
I drew a diagonal line across a small feature fabric square. I sewed on the line and flipped!
I made 2 of the squares with the added triangle and sewed them to a square of the feature fabric. That's how you get the bow tie!
After making the bow tie block, they're positioned to make a circle of bow ties. There's the final block!
This is the quilt I'll be making. I love these quilts. There's so much interest in them. I plan on making mine scrappy. I have a scrap bag that I'm hoping to pull most of my fabrics from. We'll see how small it gets. I just hope it doesn't get bigger!!
I love circle bow ties--your colors are really great. hugs Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose! All fabrics are from my scrap bag!
DeleteI'm so glad to see you getting started on this quilt. It's a whole lot of little pieces, but it's also a lot of fun to create. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! I may need some help along the way!
DeleteNice start. Love the scrappy quilts. Good luck on taming scraps. I gave up lol. We agree to cohabitate.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn! I think the scraps just multiply on their own!!
DeleteYou are very brave!! I look forward to watching this quilt progress, I bought the pattern some time ago but after studying the size of the pieces I decided it as a no-go!!
ReplyDeleteI hope to take my time and get this done! Hope I can do it!
