need a pattern idea !!!!!!!
 

for a quilt made with mens ties..............i think i finally have enough ( about 200 ) to at least start if not finish it. i haven't found anything i like...ladies and men do you have any ideas ??????????????

I have seen some beautiful Dresdan Plates made from ties.

I agree with the Dresden Plates!

Have you thought about a Dresden or crazy quilt? There's also a book called "Dad's Ties"....it has all sorts of patterns and uses for neck-ties. Let me go out to the shop and see if I can find the book, and give you the info on it.

Do a search on here for tie quilts. You'll find several threads that give lots of info. Tie quilts are lots of fun. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...lt-t22667.html

There's a pattern by Thankfully Sew called The Best Two Years that is specifically a quilt made using ties. It's cute an goes together quick. Also, I've done sort of a strip tube tie quilt.

I really like them in a crazy quilt.

Go to Google Images and type in "Quilts made with ties". There are lots of pictures of quilts made with men's ties to give you some great ideas.
