Richelle’s Bowties

Thought I’d pop on and show you this darling Bowties quilt today. This vintage quilt top belongs to my friend, Richelle, and she asked me if I could turn it into a finished quilt for her. And that’s what I do — so of course, I said I would!

It turned out even more darling than I originally thought it would.

The fabrics in this top are so fun to look at!

I quilted it with a pantograph called Loophole. It worked perfectly on this top.

And I found this adorable print for the backing. Isn’t this a cute print?

I used a blue solid for the binding. The quilt is 76″ x 91″, and I used a cotton batting inside. I think it turned out so cute, and Richelle loves having it back as a finished, usable quilt now!

   That was a good choice for the quilting design. I can never think of anything for vintage quilts except Baptist Fan or grids.
