That would be one of my partners this month - hobbykat1955!
Some other talented visionary came up with this theme, so I can't take any credit.

As for my other partner Quiltermomma - look as what she sent to me! "Puttin' on the Ritz" is so aptly named. What you can't see well in these pictures in the stunning quilting she did in each of the black blocks - Oak leave circles, two Dragonflies, and the very center square has a Singer Treadle!
How she was able to do it in such miniture squares is beyond me!
Thank you so much Quilter Momma - I truly love it.

Bow ties and gold scrolls for the "Ritz"

Believe me it was not easy quilting in those little squares, but so worth it. I have not made the bow tie block before and it was fun to do. Not sure if cutting those tiny pieces was sanely, but sure enjoyed it.
