Oh, am I happy. Just got an E-mail from a friend who knows how I like the Bow Tie blocks. I especially like them for Crib Quilts. She sent me a simpler method and I love it. No twisting around the corners or getting tucks at the corners instead of a clean corner.

Rather than using the square for the knot, she used 2 triangles.

It consiste of 4 squares, 2 print and 2 plain, with the triangles stitched to the joining corner of the plain square. Press those seams toward the triangle point. After trimming the excess plain under the triangle off, stitch the 4 squares together.

Easy, quick and very rewarding.

Please share any tips with all of us. Thank You!

7 1/2 inch square block, when in quilt becomes 7 inches.
