Having just watched the latest episode of Doctor Who, I created this cute quilt that is reminiscent of the 11th Doctor's bow tie. OK, only as I am looking at this quilt now did I relate it to the Doctor. Still, it does pay homage...
Here's how I made it. I had some jelly roll strips left over from another project - of which I have no recollection what that project was. Humph! Anyway, I started with half square triangle squares of red and yellow, then added the jelly roll strips to only two sides of the square - the red triangle sides. I added an additional strip to one side creating a rectangle. I love how this created sort of an off-set red bow tie. Since this is such a scrappy quilt I added sides and top fabric scrappily alternating red and yellow. I think it turned out to be a super-fun quilt top. I hope to quilt it soon. Sorry Whovians - next time I will make it in Tardis Blue and red.
