In the video they use 4 red squares. If you make 2 of those (opposing each other) the same as the center square, you get a bow-tie block. You can use any sized squares you like. I've made a king sized bow-tie quilt using this method.

Oh my, your friend jumped right in there! I don't think I'm ready to tackle something like that!

Casi, watch the video. Its a very easy and fast block! The ones you've already done were more difficult.

My good friend just finished her first quilt/wallhanging with my help and I started her with the kaleidoscope "One Block Wonder" block. I helped her buy her fabric and loaned her my book and she did a wonderful quilt with great colors. She's so proud of herself (and I'm proud of her). Now she's off doing a landscape wallhanging from a class she is taking. Another quilter catches the bug!

I definitely have that bug! I'm finishing up on the quilt that I keep posting about, plus I've almost finished with a quilt top for my daughter and I still have my Thimbleberries Christmas quilt top that I just started in the Spring. I just need to add the borders to it and it will be ready for the quilting lady! I have another holiday project to cut out and get started on. I want to do it all the time. DH and I are both retired and he keeps coming up with projects outside he needs my help with! lol

Congrats! I wish I had someone here that would quilt with me!!!

Jennifer thanks for the tip.

Casi I didn't really like Thimbleberries patterns until recently and now I love many of her folksy patterns.

Linda she is starting out on a kaleidoscope wow!!! invite her to join the forum.
