    This one is about 45 by 45 finished size. You need twenty points. If you take the ties apart you can get two points from each one. I used a dresden ruler and extended it to get the size. I wish I had used iron on stabilzer before I cut them, it would have made the finished plate easier to quilt.

    I regret not keeping all of my dad's ties when he passed away. He wore one every day for over 50 yrs. He had a BIG collection. But at his funeral each of the pal bearers wore one of his ties. It was very sweet and touching. My husband wore my favorite of my dad's that looks like a stained glass window. So at least I have THAT one.
