My first crazy quilt was made out of my Daddy's neckties. It turned out very nice and pleased my Mother greatly. Then my grandson requested one and I made his rather small. Now another grandson has put in his order for a Queen Size which I pray I'll live long enough to complete it. My younger brother met his death a few years ago in a tragic car accident and I have all his beautiful ties which I've been unable to cut up. Now I feel I'm able to do this since I have a mission to fulfill a promise to my grandson who is entering law school soon and hopefully, the quilt will be completed for his graduation! rk
