Welcome to Day 5 with KTQ, French General and Kate Spain.
Bowtie Block
My quilt-along block is a traditional bowtie block made with connector corners. Great method, but I prefer to make it even easier and add a little dimension to my blocks. Check it out:Step #1 - Cut squares for 4-patches as stated. Sew light/dark squares together; press toward dark. So far, everything is just like the traditional block. Here's where we make it fun & easy.
Step #2 - Cut a matching 3/4" square on the bias for the center of the bowtie. Turn edges of a square ruler so the sides are at a 45 degree angle to the selvedge edges. By cutting this square on the bias, we can layer it on top of our pieced block and the edges won't ravel when the quilt is washed.
Step #3 - Positon the 3/4" square on the center of the 4-patch as shown; stitch about an 1/8" from the bias edges with matching or coordinating cotton thread. How easy is that?
Make the traditional block - or try my layered patchwork technique - for a simply charming addition to your quilt-along sampler.

I'd love to see pictures of your bowtie block. Send them to me at lynne@ktquilts.com. Now let's go see what Barbara and Basic Grey are up to today.
My all time favorite traditional block is the Log Cabin. I am a traditional quilter so do love all the old traditional blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove friendship stars and sawtooth stars. There are so many wonderful blocks it is hard to choose just one.
ReplyDeleteEasy! Sawtooth stars, any size. I have 2 quilts going right with those lovely stars!
ReplyDeleteAnything with any kind of pieced star-love them all.
ReplyDeleteI love sunburst blocks and one day hope to be skilled enough to actually make one!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Ohio Star and all the variations that can be made with this block. An uncomplicated but beautiful block.
ReplyDeleteYvonne V.
I love traditional blocks and if I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be a simple nine patch! It has so much versatility!
ReplyDeleteI love Log cabin
ReplyDeleteL love pinwheel
ReplyDeleteI love stars which I enjoy to piece and quilt by hand. Thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeletelog cabin
ReplyDeletelisa h. from mn
I love churn dash!
ReplyDeleteLog cabin has always been my favorite, but I am really getting into half square triangle. There are so many ways you can turn them to make differant designs.
ReplyDeleteI love pinwheels and flying geese!
ReplyDeletehildy(at)ebertzeder(dot)de
I love stars! Especially the Martha Washington star!
ReplyDeleteNon traditional is always more fun
ReplyDeleteBjeanand@gmail.com
My favorite block is the Friendship Star. This was the first block that I learned to quilt on. The block was easy to make and very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLog cabin and stars are my favorit
ReplyDeleteMy favourites are flying geese and the garndmother's garden.
ReplyDeleteI just came across the Sailboat block -- love this block, so many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteLove log cabin, and bow ties! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can go past good old Ohio Star, it's my go to block but I just love starry blocks.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat the log cabin block, but I also love the Lady of the Lake block. I want to do a pickle dish quilt and a New York Beauty block--when I am ready to test my piecing skills.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many, I think the pinwheel is tops - love HSTs.
ReplyDeleteMy Traditional favorite will always be the dresden, no matter what fabric and how many scraps that block is always gorgeous. Plus there are many different styles of Dresden to chose from. I get my piecing and also my applique
ReplyDeleteBTW gorgeous fabric!!
when I first began quilting my favorite pieced block was the log cabin; I still love it but like Jan Patek, I now do much more applique
ReplyDeleteI also like the log cabin block. it is quite simple and you can play with the colours in a special way.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
Annette
Hi Lynne,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cute Bow Tie block. I love the new Pheasant Hill fabric! The colors are so beautiful! My favorite traditional quilt block would be the Feathered Star. I love it in a simple two color setting . . . red & cream would be my favorite colors for it. Keep on stitching!
Laura
Hi Lynne. Love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite traditional block is the log cabin.
Have a great weekend.
~Janet
I think you just can't beat a log cabin block, whether traditional or not so much. Very versatile.
ReplyDeleteKT fabrics are always some of my favorites! As for my favorite block? Well, I like just about anything traditional. Stars are by far my favorite and a sampler of stars will melt my heart! Thanks for the giveaway and participating in the Friendship Quilt Along. I'm having so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the pinwheel block.
ReplyDeleteInteresting question, especially when there are so many to pick. I would have to say, of late, it would be the Churn Dash block. I like both traditional and the fun spin of the non-traditional blocks... learning as I go...! Great idea for the Friendship Quilt Along! It beats the winter blues with all the snow falling... Spring, where are you?
ReplyDeleteI love Stars!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I love Log cabin and anything with stars though there are many beautiful blocks that I love.Thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy first ever quilt was a log cabin, so I think that remains my favorite. There are so many ways to make a quilt with one! Thanks so much for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteHave been trying more, but still have to go with log cabin...thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great traditional blocks, but my favorite is the churn dash. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe first two that came to mind was Churn Dash and Card Trick. And not sure which I like more. :) Thanks for the give away. Kansas Troubles was the first line of fabric that I ever noticed by name. They are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove a nine patch variation, churn dash or shoo fly and stars! Lovely fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to make a full quilt with this block but I love the Swoon Block.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would either be log cabin or churn dash. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI love a traditional block called Bride's Bouquet, but since I've got a split personality when it comes to quilting, I love lots of modern blocks, too!
ReplyDeleteI love any of the traditional blocks, but I think Churn Dash is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!!
I love Dresden's! Right now I'm jumping on the bandwagon of the Scrappy Trips Around the World using fabric scraps I won from you last year from Sandhill Plums. Can't wait to see how far I can go with it. Thanks for the chance (again)!
ReplyDeleteOh my, how do I choose a favorite? What I really truly love is a sampler of many different traditional blocks in reproduction fabrics. Discovering a traditional block I've never seen before will make my day!
ReplyDeleteThe churn dash block is one of my favorites. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilt block is Dresdan Plate, because I have a quilt from a great aunt, from a long time ago, made from that pattern. That quilt is precious to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a fun time finishing my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt - just sewing another set of hexie's on the back as a knife-blade edge binding. Then it's doing more stars and flower for a smaller GMFG quilt. Also sewing Dresden's as a machine projects. Take care from snowy northern Iowa. . . .
ReplyDeleteThe log cabin is still my favourite block.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and prints in KTQ.
My favorite blocks are those that incorporate embroidery or appliqué. Of course, pre-cuts are a must.
ReplyDeletebevcalhoun@cox.net
I'm always drawn to Flying Geese - I think it's because of the hint of movement.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the block pattern and the construction tips!
I'm stuck somewhere between the Log Cabin and the Triple Irish Chain as favorites, love most blocks, traditional or otherwise. If I won it, I'd use the Pheasant Hill for a Log Cabin.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity! Love your fabric!
I love any type of basket block - from traditional to "wonky." Love all of your fabric lines, so much so, that I once came home from two "quilt" shopping trips with the same KTQ fat quarter bundles. (My sister was happy to take one!) Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the dresden plate. Thanks for sharing the block and the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
Log Cabin
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite blocks is the log cabin. It can be made into so many designs. I also like stars (Ohio and Sawtooth).
ReplyDeleteMy number one favorite pieced design is the double nine patch, but the bear's paw is a close second. (That is one beautiful stack of fabric in that fat quarter bundle - Deep, rich colors!)
ReplyDeleteI always fall back in love with Log Cabin, every time I work one. It is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite used to be a 9 patch...but lately I keep running to the Dresden when I need to make a quilt.
ReplyDeletesowingstitches[at]gmail[dot]com
The log cabin block is my favorite - so many wonderful variations. Thanks for both block & thanks for the chance to win. I love your fabrics.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is courthouse steps. I love that you can turn the block for various looks.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, so many beautiful blocks to choose from, I LOVE all traditional blocks. If I could only choose 1, I would have to say log cabin, which also happens to be my dream home. ;-> Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Log Cabin Blocks, maybe it's because it was the block I used for my first BIG, oversized King Quilt. The red in the middle - always a sign of the warm fireplace in the home.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is the churn dash block. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block keeps changing but Log Cabin is at the moment. I love you Pheasant Hill fabric!
ReplyDeleteI've been quilting for 9 years and from day one I've liked the churn dash block. I don't have a reason, just have always like it. I did make a baby quilt using the bow tie block a few years back. Thanks for the fun hop and for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is flying geese and I don't know if it is considered a block, but I love prairie points.

ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to pick just one, but Sawtooth Star and Jacob's Ladder have been long-time favorites. Rose W.

ReplyDeleteI love anything that resembles a star!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the old-fashioned 4 patch block. It is still a favorite and is easy to make. Can be scrappy or not. That's my decision and I am sticking to it. Thank you for giving me a chance to become a very lucky winner of your giveaway.

Love your Bow Tie block but I must say that my favorite block of all time has to be the Ohio Star ~ since it's the very first block I ever made. However, my most recent favorite is becoming a simple 9 patch...go figure...it's so versatile when added to other block combos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!!
I have learned to love any kind of star blocks as I am pretty new to quilting and have done a couple of stitch alongs with stars. I think my favorite block is still the Dresden plate, it was my grandmothers favorite and she make several. I have my first cut out and partially pieced together.
ReplyDeleteI love star blocks. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite blocks right now is the x and + block using scraps. I think some of these scrappy versions are wonderful. Thanks for sharing this block with us.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is the log cabin. I love how simple it is and all the different settings you can use. It's also great for scrap quilts which are my preference. I like lots of colour ;)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I must say that KT fabs are my favoite!!! Seriously! Now the first block that popped into my head when asked about traditional was the Log Cabin block. Can't explain why, I've just always loved it.
ReplyDeleteI love star blocks, but I think my favorite block is Churn Dash. A scrappy Churn Dash is on my Must-Make list :-) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThis bow tie block is great and most traditional quilts are wonderful; however, log cabins just sing to me as my all-time favorite. pwiggs@embarqmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is Log Cabin but that is a difficult decision because I like so many traditional patterns. I love scrappy blocks.

ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to choose a favorite....I love so many traditional blocks. I love star blocks....especially the lemoyne star and the ohio star.

One of my all time favorite blocks is the "T" block - love the secondary design it makes n a quilt. What a lovely giveaway - thank you for the chance!

ReplyDeleteI love the Ohio Star.......I am from Ohio. That being said, let's face it, I love almost any quilt block...they make my heart sing. I also love your fabrics and my friend who has knee replacement surgery next week does too. Wouldn't it be fabulous if I could win this for her so she could work on it during her recovery? It would be hard to give up, but she is a treasured friend. soardkg@fuse.net Kristy

I am currently working on a modern colorblock quilt for my niece who will soon graduate from college. I am using a wonky, bright Log Cabin block. I am also drawn to lots of star blocks.

I've always liked Young Man's Fancy. I made a pillow and a quilt using this one. I think I like it because my quilting aunt had one on her bed that I always admired.

My favorite block is the log cabin. I love them in a traditional looking quilt but am also finding that a wonky modern look is growing on me. I am going to have to try your bow tie method, looks much easier than the traditional method.

ReplyDeleteCharlene
Hard to get that down to just one fav! I love stars though, and the OHIO star seems to be in several of my quilts of late. But I also love the oceans quilt block! It's a UFO that I started close to 20 yrs ago. I really have to get finished w that!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo difficult to pick just one - Oh, I will go with nine patch and the smaller the better.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte S.
Flying geese is my all time fav!! I have been just making flying geese out of everything for a scrap geese quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love bear paw blocks!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite blocks is the Ohio Star!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I have a favorite although I am collecting star patterns and hope to do a quilt with them. I also have been wanting to do a DNP quilt.
ReplyDeleteI too like using 9 patch blocks. The disappearing 9 patch is one of my favorites - so simple, yet looks quite complicated.
ReplyDeletermk815(at)gmail(dot)com
Without question it's the simple 9 patch that makes me smile
ReplyDeleteOh my, which one to choose - I love broken dishes! Thank you for a chance to win your amazing fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a beginner, so I don't have a favorite block just yet, but I sure do think this hobby is addicting!
ReplyDeleteI know this is going to sound cheesy, but my favorite traditional quilt block is Kansas Troubles. I made a civil war sampler for my brother-in-law for Christmas and that was one of the blocks I chose. It took me several hours to do it, but I LOVED it. I am fairly new to quilting so I am still learning all this stuff! Thank you for the chance at the giveaway!
ReplyDeletelol, well my favorite to look at, a new york beauty....but my favorites to DO are any of the star blocks....;) thanks for joining in this friendship block hop and sharing your bow tie block!!! and a special thanks for the great fabrics you've created over the years!! cyndi
ReplyDeleteJacob's Ladder, for its' versatility and simplicity!
ReplyDeleteFor mindless sewing it's the 9-patch. It's my 'go-to' block when I have lots on my mind.
ReplyDelete
