This is one of the prettiest I've seen! You are so fortunate to have it.

That's gorgeous. The shape of the neckties makes such a cool pattern. I also like the pug in the corner
|
Wow !! Thank you so very much for posting these pics! The quilt is truly amazing!! I have a large amount of my husband's ties I am saving for a project for him.......... your mother's quilt is such an inspiration!! Stunningly Beautiful!!

what a treasure, I love the idea of the necktie quilt. I lost my father in August and I would love to have a quilt with his ties.

I have made one quilt using neckties and have been looking for new ideas to make another tie quilt. Thank you so much for sharing this. What a treasure.

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.

That is gorgeous. I have a bag full of ties, that would be a wonderful pattern to use.
|
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.
