Bow tie quilt

The bow tie quilt block dates back to 1898. I found one quilt in the book "Vintage Quilts...Identification and Pricing" by Maggi McCormick Gordon that was dated 1900.

To celebrate this month's Classic Quilt Block, I've raided the scrap bins and started sewing a traditional Scrappy Bow Tie Quilt - with one slight, simple twist! At the end of every year, I do an assessment of my fabric stash, and my bins were a lot fuller than I'd let myself believe at the end of 2019. It was time to take action and plan some scrappy projects for the new year ahead and turn these fabrics into quilts we could enjoy. As I was putting this month's Classic Quilt Blocks series…
