I spent the entire day today trying to find a book I have to show how to make a quilt out of ties. The one I want looks like a sun with a circle in the center and the ties radiating from the circle looking like the rays. Does anyone have this pattern?

I have 2 books that use men's ties. PM if interested. I accept money orders, Paypal, or checks.

Elwin uses ties. Not only does she share the history of these quilts, but she provides wonderful patterns and color pictures of her tie quilts as well as those she has viewed across the country.

What an interesting concept. I still have my father's ties and would love more information on this topic.
