I have a pattern for a necktie quilt and have been collecting the ties. It calls for opening up the ties, making a block with strips on the diagonal, and alternating them with solids like tweeds and things from suit jackets. They place mens buttons as the tie between each square. Can"t wait to start it. It's on my 2011 to do list.

these ties were given to me by my barber customers.
40X27 inches, and I chose to frame the top. My salute to watercolors when they were all the rage. It can be hung from any side so it fits where i want to put it :) Puff quilts are popular again, we called them biscuit quilts back then I stitched the ties with that technique, then ironed them flat rather than stuffing. |
My daughter has made several dresden plate quilts using ties. She washes the ties first and dries them. Next take each tie apart, you get more fabric than you would think. She backed them with a light iron on interfacing, then cut them out. I think the middle one was 20" and each corner had a quarter plate. turned out quite nicely. I just saw a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilt Co making grandmother's fan which looked fairly easy--preparing the tie fabric is time consuming--and you might be inspired by that.

This is quite nice and a lovely memory quilt.
