Beautiful layout of the colors/ties. A true heirloom quilt. I've always wanted to make one and have looked at resale shops for old ties but could not get beyond the old "smell" and thought it would be kinda pricey to dry clean so many. Someone told me you can put vodka in a spray bottle and that it would neutralize any odor without damaging the silk. I'm not so sure about that one though. LOL
