RSC colour in March was Green

Every month Angela at soscrappy posts a colour and quilters around the world make blocks in that colour. Angela also posts blocks for a sampler, but this year I'm not making the sampler, instead I've decided on 6" bow-ties.


These are my first six 6" bow-tie units, in the arrangement I shall be making. I'm planning an 8 x 8 grid layout (48" square), but that may change! Anyway I need to make at least ten of every colour to achieve that.

April's colour is aqua and I cut the fabrics for the first six aqua blocks before breakfast yesterday. I was unexpectedly baby-sitting yesterday so got no sewing done! Good job I got up at the crack of dawn or I wouldn't have done any cutting either! I got plenty of knitting done though!

Happy sewing

I love bow tie blocks - yours are great in green! Isn't it fun to put all those cute prints to work?!

Yea! I'm making bow-tie blocks also! I have a lay out in mind, but we will see how it goes. Mine are 8" finished. I am aiming for a large throw to keep in my car!
Your blocks are fabulous!

Your bow ties are beautiful and way to use your time wisely. I also wake early, ready to tackle a bit of sewing/quilting/cutting!

Oh my, bow ties! They are almost addicting as microspools. Thanks for sharing.

What a nice variety of greens you have! I have mostly Christmasy emerald green in my scrap bin. Very pretty bow ties!
