The block creates the appearance of a classic bow tie — making it a lovely example of how everyday objects found their way into traditional quilt design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe pattern has a documented history reaching back to the \u003cstrong\u003elate 19th century\u003c\/strong\u003e. A version was published by the \u003cstrong\u003eLadies' Art Company in 1895\u003c\/strong\u003e, where related versions appeared under names including \u003cstrong\u003eNecktie\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTrue Lover's Knot\u003c\/strong\u003e. Over the following decades, variations appeared under names such as \u003cstrong\u003eColonial Bow Tie, Peekhole and The Necktie\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAnd we don't have to rely only on pattern books to know quilters were actually making them.
