quilting & a bow tie quilt

Among other things,
I have been quilting this past week...

though I can't share a couple of the finishes (:both big-'uns:),

as the owner doesn't have them back in her hands yet. 

But, I do have a picture of a baby quilt that I got to quilt.

A mom, daughter and daughter-in-law got together and

whipped stitched up a gifty baby quilt, pronto...

they made the origami or folded bow ties (see my tutorial by clicking here)

and it's just baby-girl-licious in lilacs and pale green polka dots.

Makes me want to go make one in those colors.

The quilt, not the baby :)

 Here's a closer view of those little bow ties:

Aren't they just the cutest?

I'm still stitching away on my blue bow tie blocks, and

I have a whole little basket full of them:

Last count: 200 blue bow tie blocks

(I think that I have

every blue reproduction fabric

from each of the local quilt shops,

so last time I visited a not so local shop,

I picked up a few more blues for making more bow ties:

These little folded bow ties are just so fast & easy to make up,

and I've warned this before, but it needs repeating:

very addictive!

So, off to bed tonight,

ooops, guess it's already turned to early a.m....

I have more quilting to do today,

AND a lunch date!:  I get to meet up with a friend

that worked with me at the

closed AIS Quilt Shop.

OH, and I might have signed up for a certain b.o.w....

more on that later.

What are you working on lately???
