It's absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing these pics. A man from church gave me two trash bags full of ties but I didn't have the slightest idea how to start a quilt. Now maybe I'll be able to put your pics to good use along with the ties.

I have been looking at things to do with ties and found your quilt. Don't know how I missed it the first time around. It is really beautiful. Hope I can make one a pretty, although mine will be all machine work.
