My boss gave me a bunch of his neckties. I would like to make a quilt out of them. Does anyone know of an easy quilt pattern that I could use? Thanks.

Here is a list of necktie quilts here on the board, maybe one will catch your eye and you can contact them. :)

Hello, and welcome from Idaho!
You are very lucky! I would love to make a Dresden with neckties, but they are quite expensive to purchase.

Welcome from California.

I haven't made a necktie quilt before but have given them some thought. You might want to wash them and see if the fabric holds up and is suitable for a quilt. I know there are other quilters on the board who have made them and will have advice.

(You might post another topic with necktie in the topic description.)
