These silly bowtie blocks have been hanging out on the wall for months now.  I looked everywhere for the same gold background fabric to make setting triangles, but had no luck at all.  Kathy suggested that I make triangles of all of the various colors, which sounded like a great suggestion.  That meant digging through my humble little stash trying to find all of the colors of the rainbow, which is what led to the delay.  Everything is a mess now, and I have made a lot of triangle shaped scraps, but I think the top is ready to sew together,  Have I mentioned lately how awesome summer vacation is?
