I am happy to be sewing with pink scraps this month for RSC15. I know it is one of those love it/don't love it colors but I'm a big fan of pink. It's an overcast morning so my pics are not the best today.
5 pink bowtie blocks have been made from my scraps and I also found a couple more blue scraps to add to the mix this week.
These blocks go together very quickly and I do LOVE a diagonal layout created when blocks come together. I've admired this quilt for years so it's fun to see it start to take shape. I'm using 4" squares with 2.5" corners. The background is a tone on tone white - I'll try for a close-up picture in March.
I caught Elsa in mid yawn the other day while she was observing my work from the corner of my sewing table. Doesn't it look like I just told her some scintillating news?
{Gasp!} Do tell... or maybe I've just been watching too much Downton Abbey this week.
Oh, and looking at this pic now reminds me of my Happy Dance moment from yesterday - Strip Stacks in Blue & Brown is FINALLY off my design wall after months of waiting to become a flimsy. Maybe now that I've given on using it as motivation for A Lovely Year of Finishes it will actually see the Finish Line soon. As soon as the sun comes back I'll get some pictures taken.
I'm linking up with the rest of the scrappy quilters for

Love your snowball blocks. The problem with RSC for me is that I see everyone else's projects and want to make what they are making!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of Elsa is perfect! It so totally goes with a "gasp".
Oh this quilt is going to be so pretty. Sewing room looks wonderful & cute expression you caught on Elsa.
ReplyDeleteNice Bowties but I really am partial to your bricks of brown and blue. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteLove those bowties. The quilt is turning out wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty bowties! I think I have that magazine.
ReplyDeleteToo funny on the yawn picture... it does look like she is talking back to you!
Love these! Bowties are some of my favorite blocks!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a really fun finish and fun to quilt!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work with the snowball blocks. I like the added splash of blue.
ReplyDeleteThe bow ties are so cute! I think I need to add it to my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteLove your helper and your bow ties.
ReplyDeleteYour bow ties are coming along nicely. I think I may have to start that blue and brown quilt soon. I have my blues pulled and I haven't found a pattern that is calling them yet.
ReplyDeleteLove the bow ties. I have always wanted to make a bow tie quilt...you're inspiring me! Love the pic of Elsa, she adorable.
ReplyDeleteThose bowties are going to make a great quilt by the end of the year. Great pinks!
ReplyDeleteYes, Elsa does look like she's just gasped in shock! I may follow your lead and start making some bow ties in each month's color...
ReplyDeleteLove how your bow ties are coming together! I'm not really a fan of pink but I do have a pink and purple row-by-row quilt in progress since last year when pink was the colour for February. I just need to pull all the parts together and see where I'm up to!
ReplyDeleteI love bowtie blocks, especially when they are put together to make the circular shape like you have. I used them in a previous rainbow colored quilt top and make just have to do some again soon.
ReplyDeletePretty bow ties. I see a marvelous quilt in the making.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to thoroughly enjoy watching this colorful quilt come together. This one may be going on my bucket list : )
