Oh Scrap! : Cheddar is Better from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I had lots of plans for todays post but my Saturday got away from me. So, I thought I would share one of my favorite scrap quilts that have been donated to Many Hands and Many Hearts.

One of my favorite quilt blocks is the bowtie block. I haven't made one in a while, but it used to be one of my go-to blocks. Denice made this quilt top. I usually make larger sized blocks, but hers are a compact six inches - cute and tiny!

But what really puts this quilt u to the top of my list was ...

Oh Scrap! : Moving Forward from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Hope all of you survived the weekend. My dog Arthur had surgery on the 2nd so he has been pretty bored - no running, jumping or rough-housing. I can tell you it has been a challenge!

I did finish the last few blocks I needed for the autumn bowtie quilt. Each block measures 8.5" unfinished. I haven't sewn the blocks together yet, but I do have the blocks all stacked up next to my machine now. I had lots of options for layouts but I decided to keep it simple.

I can't say I used up a lot ...

Oh Scrap! : More Bow Ties from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I thought I would finish the blocks I needed for my scrappy Bow Tie quilt this week.

I made the ten blocks I needed - only to realize I needed twenty blocks. Sigh...

I guess I should look at it as a win. Ten more blocks mean more scraps will get used. And I certainly have lots of scraps still. In fact, I might just continue on and make enough blocks for another quilt.

These blocks are 8.5" and are made using ...

Oh Scrap! : More Bowties from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Not much time this week but I did get a bit of scrap sewing in.

Eighteen more bow-tie blocks went into the pile. I think I have 37 completed blocks now. I figure I am about halfway done now. This has been a great way to use up my autumn-colored scraps.

Happy Sunday!

Oh Scrap! : Bow Tie Blocks from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Even though I haven't sewn the scrappy snowball blocks into a quilt top yet, I decided to go ahead and start another project. It didn't take me long to get inspired.

We still have a lot of fall colored scraps leftover from our autumn Two Step blocks. I knew I wanted to make a bow tie block and the fall colors are going to work perfectly. I finished six blocks this week, but I have lots of fabric sitting on my cutting board so I am hoping to make more soon. These blocks measure 8.5" so the ...
