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 together, I was inspired to make my own Scrappy Bow Tie Quilt. These blocks make my heart happy and a traditional layout was the only way to go - with one slight, simple twist! The first (overflowing) fabric bin to receive some attention was my collection of Sedef Imer fabrics. They have a wonderful summery feel, but I decided they needed one extra colour to create a gorgeous summer Bow Tie Quilt. In my solid fabric collection, I found some soft yellow yardage, and it was exactly what I needed to bring my scrappy summer quilt to life. It gives the Bow Tie blocks a cheerful sunniness, and it adds something extra to the secondary pattern these blocks create. In each Bow Tie block, I'm using one soft yellow square and one white square as the background. It's a simple little twist that creates a super fun pattern. Tada! Scrappy goodness, a fun pattern and one stunning quilt. This layout is my favorite way to set Bow Tie blocks and it's probably the most popular, because it creates that secondary pattern. Adding an extra colour to the background will inject new life into any scrap collection. It's a good way to incorporate a missing colour in a fabric range or to tie scrap fabrics together in a scrappy quilt. I think the soft yellow amplifies the summery feel of Sedef's fabrics - it adds a touch of sunshine! Now to share my plans for this quilt, so you can sew your own Scrappy Bow Tie quilt too. I'm sewing 120 x 6" (finished) Bow Tie blocks and you can find my free tutorial HERE. I'm setting them into 30 x four patch squares which should measure 12 1/2" square (unfinished), using the orientation shown in the photo above. I'm using a 5 x 6 layout (5 squares per row by 6 rows) to make a generous throw size quilt, which will be perfect for summer decorating. You can use my free Cutting Chart to sew smaller or larger Bow Tie blocks, and you can alter the layout to make the quilt size you require. I'm almost halfway to my target of 30 blocks, and while I've cut all of the soft yellow and white background squares, I'm cutting the print fabrics as I sew the blocks. I've mentioned this before, but I'm not great with random scrappy. I consider myself to be a deliberate scrappy quilter, and I'm constructing the four patches in order, so I can control the distribution of the colours and prints - it's not the traditional way, but it works for me! My summery Scrappy Bow Tie Quilt is a colourful celebration of this month's Classic Quilt Block and I'm loving working on it every chance I get. Let me know if I've inspired you to create one too! Happy quilting :)

A long, long long time ago last year I was keen to learn to crochet. I took on a project from a Better Homes and Gardens Mag and thought - sure I can do this! Well - totally overestimating my abilities I ended up with close to 300 squares of varying sizes (as per the pattern instructions) and well they just wouldn't come together. Since taking a few classes I have learned about so many of the mistakes that were plaguing my blanket but not wanting to just set aside the squares as a bad mistake - I have persevered and came up with an alternative version. My blanket is now 48 squares - all the same size. I made some of the smaller squares larger and vice versa to end up with a blanket that I am actually quite happy with. All this Brown Sheep Cotton fleece came from Tangled Yarns and was lovely to work with. I love the range of colours available and the matt look to the cotton rather than a fluffy texture you get from wool. Aside from dabbling in some crochet I have been quilting too - this quilt is a cot size quilt that I have named Rainbow Fizz and is one of the projects for Term 2 Sewing classes together with Claire Turpin Design. After using a Kona Solids Charm pack from Pink Chalk as the inspiration I set to turn the squares into triangles. I added in some white homespun and then hand quilted all the white squares in a co-ordinating Cosmo thread. Also finished recently was this Music Box - Oliver and S dress. My little one just loves it and it can't be washed and ironed quickly enough. And with Easter coming up I have been busy hand sewing lots of cute little Bouncing Bunnies which make great gifts at Easter time - especially as alternatives to chocolates and as great presents for all the teachers. You can get your hands on some in my Etsy Store. But if you are feeling crafty or want to get the kids involved you can buy kits to make them for yourselves
Also known as the necktie or hourglass quilt, the bow tie quilt originated in the time of the pioneers setting in the Western part of America. As you can imagine, this quilt pattern, like many others were named after normal parts of pioneer life. However, when it comes to bow tie quilt pattern history, there are theories that quilts like these were used as secret signals for stops on the Underground Railroad. Some historians think that quilt patterns in a certain order were used to communicate with slaves who wanted to escape the South during the American Civil War. Quilt patterns displayed on a fence or over a windowsill would not be suspicious to any passersby or slave owners. One aspect of African culture is relaying secrets through common objects, which could be exemplified by a quilt. A specific theory about the bow tie quilt blocks is that it was a symbol for slaves to dress up like rich people in order to travel safely. Quilt patterns, like many pieces of art, communicate feelings, emotions, and events in general, but the use of quilts in the Underground Railroad is quite interesting and possible. Just think that many people’s freedom could have been granted because of quilting a bow tie square!
