For IC594. THIS was my inspiration piece, and it obviously wandered far afield from the original.But I used the tiling technique, and there's a bow, which I tied using my Bow Easy after watching several YouTube videos to remind myself how to use it. Not a big bow person, I usually default to twine and knots. I tried to avoid it here when I realized I'd have to sit down and relearn how to use the Bow Easy (which is actually very easy, but not until you know how), but I knew I was fooling myself, I needed the bow. So now I can put away my Bow Easy until I forget how to use it again.
I don't see how there was much scoring was used in my inspiration piece, as pretty as it is, other than the scoring on the little banner. Maybe I'm missing something. Never mind. It's supposed to be inspiration, not an exercise in CASEing. So here you go.

Yes, I think it was worth relearning the Bow Easy. I have to look up my bow-maker instructions every time too. Love that tiled background, the black outline stamp looks great on those beautiful greens.

I kept looking for the tilt on this (knowing that you are famous for that detail) then I realized I misread it...your tiles are lovely and the bow, however tramatic to tie, turned out great! Love the bg colors.
