You are so fortunate to be able to buy at such a great price. Here they are usually $2 and $3 a piece at the GW and Salvation army. Absolutley beautiful quilt you have made and the embellishment of the cords and braids adds so much.

What a great idea! So very pretty.

I have a friend who had someone make a quilt out of her husband's ties after he passed away. I really like how the ends made for this very lovely quilt. I saw two quilts at the Pacific International Quilt Festival made from ties. Thanks for sharing.

What a neat idea! I have a purse made out of neckties (the front portion) and would love to make one but cannot find a pattern. I've googled everything & got no where. Anyone have any ideas? I sure get the compliments when I carry it and have been collecting ties forever!!

Beautiful !!! I have started collecting ties to make a quilt also, now have 66 and I'm wondering if you kept track of how many you used??? My goal is 100 and I have to tell you that the lowest price I've found is 99 cents, I've even paid $6 for Gerry Garcia ones. It really can be an expensive project.
Congrats, Kutnso

P.S. Forgot to ask, what did you do with the other part of the ties???
Curious, Kutnso

Great idea! I am going to try that. I have quite a few old ties since both my husband and my son in law wear ties to work. I've been wanting to do something with them and now I know at least one of the ways I can use them. What do you do with the front, wider end of the tie?
