Memorial Tie Quilts
I am making three memorial tie quilts for a women and her two sons. She wanted them to be crazy quilted with one inner border and one outer border. Any suggestions on how to quilt the outer border. It will be 7 inches wide.

How about a tie border? Make two diagonal lines, 3" at bottom and 1.5" at top, with a square or V at top, at the smaller of the ends, so it looks like a tie. Then another next to it going in the other direction, so that one tie is up and next is down. You could even squiggle different lines on the ties to differentiate them. Would like to show a drawing, but don't know how. Hope you can vision my thoughts.

Ignore the lines in between the 2 ties. I drew 2 ties and repeated them. I couldn't figure out how to get it to not print the lines between the 2 ties.
