Bow Ties - #19 November

Many years ago, I thought that I would do some stash busting as I was working on projects.  I thought that a good stash busting project that I could continually do would be bow ties.  Later, I decided I didn't want to do bow ties any more.  But I had some bow tie blocks created so I just added additional squares to the bow ties and made a quilt top.  I did this until I had used up all of the bow ties I had created.  There were bow ties made out of different sized squares so there will be a number of bow tie quilts.
I had to pay attention when quilting the bow tie quilts because they are 3D.  I had to make sure I didn't run the machine over the quilt top and rip the bow ties.

It was sheer luck that I finished a project for November.  I had big plans to finish a number of projects but nothing happened.  I just took this small quilt to Sew N Sew group on Monday nights to have some hand project to work on while I was visiting with the ladies.  It took me two Monday evenings of visiting to finish the binding.  But it was the only item I completed in November!
