A quick finish last night...
I was cleaning my sewing room yesterday and found this little quilt I made at least a year agothe blocks are 3" finished. It really needed a border, I don't always put borders on quilts. I find many times they just don't need them. I looked in my closet and looked and instantly pulled out this fabric. I love this fabric for borders! Civil War Homefront by Barbara Brackman for Moda
I had bought probably a 1/2 yard at first and used it on another little quilt a few years ago and loved it, searched for the fabric again and bought a few yards, I hope I never run out of this fabric!!! wishful thinking but its nice to know I can use it again on a few more little quilts.
Really odd to wake up this morning and come into my sewing room with nothing on the cutting table ready to go and such a clean sewing room I even took everything off the bulletin board ...truthfully it feels great! a fresh start, hmmm what will I start today, almost feels

Love your little quilt! And yes, that border fabric is perfect. I know what you mean about a sewing room all clean and ready. While I'm sewing a project, it is a total catastrophe, but when I finish a project, I force myself to tidy everything up so that when I enter the room the next day, I have a clean slate. Enjoy the start of the next project!
Another beauty Kathy.
I know what you mean about certain fabrics. Sometimes I love a fabric so much that I can hardly even stand to cut into it. And I hate it when it is all gone. I can't claim to have a super neat sewing room, but when we returned from our weekend trip yesterday, my sewing table was totally clean from when I was quilting before the weekend. It looked great! Now, however, it is a mess. I had some ideas last night and I was pulling fabric for a table runner and floss for a couple new cross stitching projects. You must be an early riser to have already blogged. I get up early also and love to get started doing a little sewing before I have to start other chores.
Wunderschön. Das Muster sieht super aus.

I love that Civil War Homefront fabric also and hoard what I managed to find! LOL Have a great day!
Awesome finish! I understand what it is like to have a fabric that makes you happy everytime you use it. You just unlimited supplies of it. That`s okay though there will be another favorite in the future...LOL
Have fun starting a new project can`t wait to see what you decide to do.
A great choice of fabric--I love the stripe.
What a lovely quilt. You sewing room sounds wonderfully tidy, mine's the opposite.
So pleased I had a cleaning friend, Kathie. Your little quilt is just lovely.
Hugs - Lurline!
Love your little bow ties and that fabric is just right with them. I've got some of that in my stash too!
That is a gorgeous little quilt--I love everything about it--the colors, the bowties AND the border fabric.!
Another sweet one. Do you ever sleep??????
I like this little Quilt. You are so busy.

I love the idea of a fresh slate!!
A clean slate is a wonderful idea.
Love the new small quilt - the border fabric is great.
Gorgeous little bowties! And your blue/cheddar quiltlets are fabulous too.
Gosh, wish I found something that lovely when I clean up :) Love Barbara Brackman's fabrics, they are always just the best colors and prints. Darling bowties!
I wish my room was as neat and tidy as yours sounds. I try but have too many things going at once. The little bow ties are so sweet! Cute little quilt.
I love the colors in this little quilt...so cute!
The fabric made a wonderful finish to your little piece.

It's funny how we get attached to a certain fabric. I have a piece of red that always seems to be the exact shade I am looking for. I'll have a hard time when I finally run out of it.
The Bow Tie is my most favorite of all traditional blocks. I have made more than I can count for gifts for guys. But I have one for myself, too. However, I have made them without borders in the past, so now I must do another with. Yours is utterly charming!
good way to start the day. cute quilt.
Your bow tie quilt is sweet. Some fabrics you just wish you had a bolt of and others you wonder what you were thinking when you bought it. A clean sewing room, now I don't know what to think of that but it will be fun to get it messy again.
That is one sweet little quilt. You are right about the clean sewing room, minenever stays that way long though.
The border fabric is perfect!
Wonderful little quilt! I have a tiny piece of this border fabric left. I am also sad when I run out of a favorite fabric...but then I go shopping to cheer myself up!
Brown is the perfect frame for the little bowties :0)! Adorable.
I do hope that "cleaning the sewing room" inspirations hits me soon and hard........I have no clear horizonal
spaces left...it might be time :0).
Happy Sewing
LOVE the little bowties! And the border fabric is perfect! Are you machine quilting it?
Love this darling little bow tie quilt! You always inspire me....although not with the sewing room cleaning, LOL!
:) Carolyn
Your bow tie quilt is darling. Isn't it great to walk into a non-cluttered sewing room? That hasn't happen to me in a long time!
It's a new day for you, new ideas, new enthusiasm. Go for it!
I've only made a few little quilts and finished them. You inspired me to make little quilts Kathie. Your wall of little quilts would inspired anyone to make them. Thanks for sharing such treasures - Hugs Nat
