Easy Bow Tie Quilt Block
The traditional Bow Tie quilt block has a rectangular center that's pieced to the outer areas of the tie with set-in seams. This easy version of the block looks just a bit different, but eliminates set-ins, making it more simple to piece.Choose two contrasting fabrics, one for your bow tie an another for your background.
