Need picture of Bow Tie setting

Jun 02, 2006 4 Replies

The first Saturday of each month I lead a 30's Reproduction Fabric Club at a local quilt store. For June I chose the Bow Tie block in honor of Father's Day. I will be showing them three ways to make the block: template, triangle and 3 dimensional.



I have borrowed a vintage quilt made in the 30's and have the new wallhanging I have made. Both use a setting of alternating solid squares and Bow Tie blocks. I have seen quilts using all Bow Tie Blocks (no solid squares) where each set of four Bow Ties are arranged in a circle. Now I can't find a picture of that type of setting. Can anyone point me to a website with a picture of the circular arrangement? Thanks.

Do any of these resemble what you want?

Susan I just played a bit in EQ5 and came up with the two settings here:

I left the block outlines for clarity but the alternate blocks could of course be cut as one, not as a 4-patch.

I think the last two links are what she needs. It's the same setting I was going to send her. Debra in VA See my quilts at
