You get so many different textures from using them, and sometimes you can use the wrong side, and get a whole different look from the same tie.

Barb - I actually have a bit of yellow silk and blue silk from a tie of my DH's that I persuaded him he'd never wear again! The yellow in three of the blocks and the dark blue in two of them; You're right, they look beautiful, especially with silk ribbon embroidery over them; Unfortunately he only had one silk one - the rest are polyester and not as nice so he can keep those! :mrgreen:

Rhonda - thanks for the reassurance! :-D
