I had lots of plans for todays post but my Saturday got away from me. So, I thought I would share one of my favorite scrap quilts that have been donated to Many Hands and Many Hearts.
One of my favorite quilt blocks is the bowtie block. I haven't made one in a while, but it used to be one of my go-to blocks. Denice made this quilt top. I usually make larger sized blocks, but hers are a compact six inches - cute and tiny!
But what really puts this quilt u to the top of my list was she used a cheddar solid for the background.
I love any quilt with cheddar in it!
It took me a bit to decide how to back this quilt. I finally chose this blue print sent in by Karen. It is hard to see but the design on the blue is a faint tan/cheddar color. It looks amazing!
We sent this off to Gloria to quilt. I knew she would love it too!
Do you have a favorite block that always sets your heart racing?

My favs are Churn Dash and Flying Geese! You can bet they will be in my SAHRR each year.
I love bowtie quilts, too! That cheddar background is awesome - makes me want to start a new quilt, lol! Have a relaxing Sunday, Cyndy.
Cheddar is really better! That is a great quilt!!
That's a cool bowtie quilt. The cheddar makes the colors really pop!
That bowtie quilt is fantastic!!
When you asked about favorite quilt blocks, all that i could think of . . . is that everytime I go to a quilt show and someone has made a bed sizes quilt of nothing but little hexies it absolutely pulls at my heartstrings. There is something so homespun and comfy about them.
It's always fun to see a background other than white, black, gray or beige. The cheddar really sets off the colors in the bow ties.
