Vintage Style Bowtie Quilt

Hey guys! It's Monday, hope you're week is off to a great start!

I've got some very mediocre, boring brick wall photos of a really GORGEOUS quilt! I do want to step up my photography skills but I always end up taking the quick and easy way out by snapping the same old pics.

This quilt I love! I was totally inspired by this vintage bowtie quilt I saw on Pinterest.

Denyse Schmidt fabrics are so perfect in a quilt like this. Modern but vintage all at the same time. I made 7" bowtie blocks using mostly Hadley fabrics with a few solids and Katie Jump Rope prints mixed in.

Even the backing is a Denyse Schmidt fabric from JoAnn's.

  3. This is wonderful! I have been wanting to make a bow tie quilt for quite awhile now. I've got the fabrics pulled, but haven't been able to find a good tutorial for the block. Any suggestions? Also, I love your loop style quilting - do you start towards the center but on one edge? I've never quilted a top yet - but I must start and I think I could do this. Thanks for sharing.
