Then I pieced it normally.
The trouble is that the Bowtie looks a bit squashed and the sides are out of scale. So if the Bowtie block remains a square, what do i do for the sides?
They are the diamond shape. Which I'm sure isn't the easiest to try to do with the 10 min. block. What if you made the tumbling block, in the colors you want. Then make a 3-d bow tie from the 10 min block, or just out of fabric, or applique a bow on top. Something like this?
