I
bought a new Accuquilt die during this month's sale and started
cutting pieces immediately. Bow tie blocks are so pretty, especially
this one with the tiny center triangles. I paired warm colors of
peach, orange, coral and mango prints with cool shades of gray.
I
added two borders: one narrow medium gray solid and an outer border
of alternating peach and gray rectangles. Peach Mango Mist finished
out at 44” square, great for display, table topper, or baby's room.
I
quilted with light gray thread on top and white in the bobbin, using
a meandering stitch. Quilting went quickly using the Flynn frame.
I'm getting better at free motion stitching with practice. The
backing is a white and gray circle print with a side border strip of
coral.
Dies

55768 and 55769 4 ½” finished bow tie
55107 2 ¼” x
4 ½” finished rectangle
By
the way, today's post is late because I went out for a leisurely
breakfast with my favorite guy. A date with my husband is first
priority, even after all our years together.
Be
happier!
Spend
more time
with
the people you love,
doing
the things you love.
