Default Memorial Tie Quilts

I made three crazy quilts out of men's ties and shirts. The client wanted three crazy quilted lap quilts or pillows made from her deceased husband's ties. She is a friend of a co-worker and I was honored to be asked to make these quilts for her family. One quilt will be for her, but the other two quilts will be going to her two sons. I love this! Problem: Only 22 Ties! Solution: I asked her to also include some of her husband's shirts and we could make the lap quilts instead of the pillows. I couldn't find a good commercial tie design for the border, so I made it myself. What do you think of the border design? I love how they came out!
