I used Kona Medium Gray and various scraps of orange, aqua, and lime green for the front. The squares are 6" finished. I didn't want the quilting to interfere with the colored bow ties, so I stitched simple diagonal lines through the center of each one.
For the back of the quilt, I pieced together the fabric remaining from the bow ties on the front and added some grey strips to extend the length. The scrappy binding also features the prints from the bow ties.
It's lovelier in person!
