Default Tie quilt for church

First let me give credit where credit is due. Lovetoquilt posted an absolutely gorgeous tie quilt several years ago, and here is the link: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...lt-t22667.html. I want to thank her for all her help and emails! My quilt doesn't compare to her talent.

I asked members of our congregation back in February to donate unwanted ties to make a quilt for the church. In less than three weeks I had almost 500 ties, and our church is not that large! I enjoyed making this
quilt and have never worked so diligently on one this size, which is a queen. I titled the quilt "Bless be the Ties that Bind". I haven't taken a picture yet of the label that I embroidered, but I will, and may post it later. The quilt will be autioned November 18th. I'm not the greatest at taking pictures either, but hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking!
