Double Take - Bowtie

If you could time travel to a late-1800s quilting bee, there’s a good chance they'd be working on a Bowtie quilt. This beautiful block has been made—and remade—for generations. Today we’re making two new variations: Misty’s Bowtie Blossoms is made with a brilliant Kaffe layer cake, and when the blocks come together, a little shoofly appears at every corner. Natalie’s Springtime Rings combines two bowtie blocks: an X and an O. Together, they shine with Meadow Sunshine Batiks by Kathy Engle.
