Meet Henri! This vintage primary colored "Bowtie" quilt is bold and fancy. We adore it. The pops of red throughout are so fun, and the size large enough to drape across a full sized bed. The “Bow tie” pattern itself holds great historical importance. It is said that this famous pattern was a part of the Underground Railroad and was used to communicate important information between enslaved people. 

Quilt tops are worthwhile investments because they embody the quilter's artistic vision, creativity, and craftsmanship, showcasing intricate patterns and carefully selected fabrics that set the aesthetic foundation for the finished quilt. Despite being unfinished, we believe a quilt top holds significant value due to the substantial time, precision, and skill required to create it. We think they are stunning on their own, or you could also use them as a framed piece, shower curtain, window covering, or tablecloth in your home. 

The beauty of quilt tops is that they offer flexibility, allowing the variability to either complete the quilting process or collaborate with another quilter to finish it according to your preferences. Quilt tops hold personal or historical significance, capturing memories, stories, or cultural heritage, making them meaningful and treasured pieces.
