Bowtie Quilt Block
Bowtie Quilt Block
Skill: easy
The Bowtie Quilt Block is another block that is ideal for beginners. It is a 2×2 (4-patch) grid design in which two blocks are simple squares, but the remaining two blocks have snowball corners which touch in the middle of the design. If you are just learning how to make snowballed corners, this is a very forgiving design because you will not have to be too fussy about where you snowball points land when you make the bowtie quilt block. In other words, if your snowball corners don’t land perfectly in the center it’s not going to make a lot of difference visually.
Grouping Example
