Also, there is a book called "Daddy's Ties" that you can get on Amazon. Really neat ideas and patterns in it.

That pattern looks like Granny's fan

Is there an actual written pattern for that quilt? I just love it.

I bought the book that the pattern was in"Quick Quilts from the Heart" by Fons and Porter from half.com for 75cents plus $3.99 shipping. Now I just need to gather up some ties. Would love to make it

What a fabulous quilt! I love it!!! I've been kinda half-heartedly saving ties to make into Bow Tie blocks. Anyhoo, thanks for sharing this beauty with us!

WOW, that was a gorgeous quilt. My Husband got rid of his ties years ago, he never had enough to do anything with.

Honey Bea, just as Kath12 above mentioned, I too got the book with this pattern in it. Just go to Fons and Porter's website, it is called "Quilts from the Heart". I got it for 99 cents and 3.99 shipping, received it in the mail yesterday. It was listed in "good" condition and would you believe that it is hardcover and looks as though it has never been used. I am so pleased. The pattern in the book is on p. 15 and is called "Fancy Fans", but you will see that you can easily make it using the men's ties. I can't wait to start on it. I know its going to take awhile just to open the ties and prepare them for the quilt. Good luck to you.
