Fabric Challenge - Bow Ties and Snowballs

It didn't take long at all to come up with an arrangement for the bow tie blocks, maybe 10 minutes.  I didn't even use a camera.  I kept thinking about the 90 minutes I once spent arranging quilt blocks for a different quilt that I was giving away to a charity.  Each arrangement was approximately 1% better or worse than the previous one.  I didn't want to waste time like that again.

With this fabric selection, fairly high contrast with the cream linen, the bow ties connect to make snowball blocks that are quite visible.

I was extremely surprised at how well all my corners matched.  How did I manage to do that?

Now I'm off to add the borders, then piece the back.  I'm a little conflicted about the backing.  Part of me wants to use some big hunks of fabric that don't really go with the front, but it would be easy because minimal piecing is involved.  The other part of me wants to make a back I'm proud of.  I'm leaning toward the former - use up the big hunks, who cares, and save my energy for making fronts that I'm proud of.
