Here's a quilt I recently made for a client using her late father's neckties. I've made several necktie quilts, but this is the first with this design.

Beautifully Done!!! I love that pattern, it really shows off the pretty ties :D:D:D
|
Very nice. I like the design. :thumbup:
|
Wow this quilt is stunning!
|
Beautiful!

Thank you Mabel!
I have been collecting silk ties from garage sales and thrift stores for months now. That is an awesome pattern and it looks great! |
Wow! Where did you get the lighter colors? Are they from the linings? This is very pretty! How did you handle the slippery fabrics, what seam allowance did you use?
|
Beautiful. I've never seen one done quite like that and it really give it a great design along with the memories.

Mable, you have done such a very good job blending all the different shades of the ties. When I first looked at it I thought all his ties were almost alike. Then I look at the closeup of the 2nd photo and see they are 'not' all similar. I see the beautiful blend of shades is your work of art. I know I will never get to that level of skill but I will be able to enjoy the beauty through others' creations. This is stunning. Very very beautiful.

The light colors are about 1/2 light colored ties and 1/2 khaki broadcloth.
I cut 5 inch squares of lightweight fusible interfacing, put a piece of light & dark fabric right sides together & sewed them directly to the sticky side of the interfacing from corner to corner. The seam allowance is anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2, it doesn't matter. Then press the fabrics to the interfacing & trim with a 4 1/2 inch square ruler. |
