The nice advantage to this block is having it both ways on the bed! One quilt with 2 different views! The bow ties will either be horizontal or vertical depending on the way you lay it on the bed. For this reason, you might want to make it a more 'squarish' type quilt so that either way you lay it is the correct way! You could have it displayed in your favorite setting.

I actually made another quilt using a similar pattern to this one and it's my own pattern too. The cornerpiece is wider and the block is smaller than this new pattern. I just turned the blocks to form the stars and I called it "Twist and Shout." Here's the link to that quilt in case you missed it. It has not been posted in the Pictures section; only on another's thread.
