Bows and Ties
16" x 27"

I found the piecing pattern used in this quilt in an older book "Quilts of Illusion" by Laura Fisher. I wanted to challenge myself to piece these fans and blocks using men's old silk ties. Each fan is 1 1/2" square. The border is cotton velveteen. I love the texture of machine quilted velvet! Sometimes it's just plain fun to "see if I can do it". Sorta like the "Burgoyne Surrounded" quiltlet I'm currently working on, where each square is 1/4". Nuts but fun.
