Downloads: Design Sheet

Bow Tie quilts are a classic design and fun to make! Traditionally it involves "Y" seams, but not with our Zigzag Appliqué method!

Use 6" squares for the background and on-point ties, or use 6" squares for the backgrounds and 5" x 9" for the ties.

To easily make your quilt larger OR for an optional layout, alternate the bow tie blocks with plain fabric squares!

FIRST TIME USERS - Purchase the PACK which includes instructions and 5 panels of interfacing to make up to a Baby/Lap size quilt.
