I just did a necktie dresden with all shades of blue (avatar) and I think it's rather boring. I like your's much, much better. But it does need a darker background - I wish I had done the same with mine.

I have no idea what ties you have, but I wonder if you would like it better if you could insert some plain colors or less busy ties here and there around the circle? I think there is no place for the eye to land right now. IMHO.
Wish I'd known about quilting when my husband died--I would have used his ties this way.

What a great idea for using old ties! My husband used to have an office job and had to wear a shirt and tie every day. Now he's on the road and can dress more casually. Now I know what to do with his old ties! It'll be a great surprise for him. Thanks for the idea!
