    There are several ways to construct the Bow Tie Block. Your picture is one of them (with a white center). Usually the center is the same color as two of the diagonal corners. Hope this helps. Here are some patterns:

    Thanks Minda for the sites. I still think it has another name.
    Loretta, Let us know if you find it. I really like the pattern. I never really looked at it closely before.

    I have no idea how to put a picture of a block here from EQ but I know alot of ladies here have the program. If you draw a bow tie block & colour it in with these colours, it certainly looks like the block.

    it absolutely, positively, IS the traditional bowtie block.

    thing is ... there are many blocks out there with more than one name. sooooooo ... it could also be something else.

    why don't we name it Herman? :lol:

    Wow, i love how white was used in the centre of the bow! That's one gorgeous quilt, but those Y seams look very hard to do :)

    I almost looks like a 4 patch/snowball block. Really pretty colors, too.
