Design Wall Monday 4-18-11

This is the first of two kits I am making for Quilts for Kids.  It is fast and easy and lots of fun to work with new (at least to me) fabrics.  It's on the list to be quilted. 

And the double bow tie quilt with borders almost done.  Notice that little bitty brown and beige bow tie in the top left corner?  That was my sample to make sure I had the right size.  The piano key border will be cut down to that size . . .  approximately 3" or so.  I have some green I will be using for the corner mini bow ties.  This top is almost done. Yeah!
