Bowties

I have finished most of these bowties - 467 done -  733 to go.
I know a few of you want a little more information so here it is.
As of right now I think I need 1200 bowtie blocks
Each block has 25 bowties and will be set like this.
You will need a total of 48 blocks for a quilt finishing 60" x 80"
This is what the finished setting will look like.
I might change this up a little, we will see. It seems a little long to me.
What do you think? Have you been making bowties?

Happy Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women
who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces
Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the 
American Civil War to commemorate the Union and 
Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the
20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all
 Americans who have died while in the military service.
