New Quilting Design


Today I'm going to show and tell about my first attempt to design my own quilt block. About 3 weeks ago, I was sitting in the sewing room but not really feeling like sewing and I picked up some graph paper and started designing new quilt blocks. The next day I received an email about a "design your own quilt block" contest a certain website was having and I decided to enter my design, The Flippin' Bowtie block. First I put together a lap quilt with the block and then I put together a small wall hanging with the block. I got it all done and ready to enter the last day of the contest and got it all submitted. Wish me luck... there's some pretty nice quilting prizes. If anyone would like to purchase the pattern and instructions, I am making it available for $5. Just send the $5 with your mailing address and Item No. #201 (Flippin' Bowtie Pattern) to Arlayne West, 701 1st Street, Grimes, IA 50111.
