If you search this site and google "neck tie quilt" and anything related to that you will find alot of information.
I have about 3 tubs that I have collected. I have washed them all and dried them..very few fell apart..those that did I trashed.
I have taken them apart, thrown away the inside and then stored them. They take about a third less space this way and I am not going to use the innards anyway.
I am also saving the labels...some of them are so neat. Don't know what I'll do with them but just can't part with them.
