Another Pattern to play with!

Supplies
One charm pack (Hello Betty by Chloe's Closet for Modawas used in this project)
1/2 yard (Bella Solid Ivory block) background
3/4 yard (Bella Solid Betty Pink) alternating blocks
1/3 yard (Bella Solid Betty Green) binding
1 yard backing
batting 36 x 44



Instructions

Select 32 charm squares from your Charm Pack. From each square cut (2) 2 1/2 inch squares and (2) 1 1/2 inch squares

Cut (64) 2 1/2 inch ivory squares
Cut (31) 4 1/2 inch pink setting squares

For each bowtie block you will need (2) 2 1/2 inch and (2) 1 1/2 inch bowtie squares and (2) 2 1/2 inch ivory squares


Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of each of the 1 1/2 inch squares

Place a small square on each of the 2 1/2 inch background squares and sew on the line. These are your knot units.


Press towards the knot and cut away the back of the knot fabric in the middle, leaving the background piece.

Sew your block together as shown :


Press center seam open if desired, for a flat center



Make 31 more blocks! They're super fast. Set in 9 rows of 7 blocks alternating bows and pink setting blocks, using completed quilt as a guide. Layer and quilt as desired. This old fashioned quilt is perfect for grid quilting (on sample) or meandering! Bind with Betty Green Solid and enjoy!
