I'm using the Bowtie as a leader/ender project - kind of. I'm making them 3D. I think in my case 3 inch squares will be what I use in the end. Tried larger and smaller. I did NOT enjoy using 2.5 in squares way to small to line up. Here's a tute to show what I'm doing.

That tute looks great--have fun with it. I love the Gourmet Quilter.

I have been "threatening" to make my most unconventional son a bow tie quilt for years. (He is the kid who wore the black cowboy duster in high school, dresses as a pirate for Renaissance festivals (he is a photographer for these events) and is now in to viking reenactment.) He is sooooo not a bow tie guy but he does have a great sense of humor. Hummm....This might do. I could hide his eagle scout fabric, cub scout fabric and others in the quilt just for fun along with cameras, cats, books, Route 66. Can you tell I am really warming up to this thought. Thanks for the good idea!
