Hello friends, I hope you had a lovely weekend. I’ve been trying to slowly bring out the projects that I have in progress and finish them before starting new ones. This is one of them. I started this quilt about a year or year and a half ago. I saved the trimmings from a star quilt I did a long time ago because I couldn’t see myself parting with all those little triangles. I mean it is Denyse Schmidt Chicopee so every little scrap it is a treasure. So I kept them in box waiting for the inspiration to turn them into a quilt. So to crate the blocks I cut up 6 inch squares of blue chambray. Then on two opposite corners of each square I sewed the trimming as improvised as the fabric would allow me (since the trimming as quite small); therefore, when the blocks are joined together will form a bowtie.

I can’t wait to put this quilt top together and share with you as it has been too long in the making.

Wishing you a wonderful week!
