I really like it. Soo colorful. I have made 1 out of my husbands ties & want to make 2 more to give to my daughter & son as a memory of their dad... I also have a sack full from recent widow that attends church with me & it would be neat to make her a pillow top with them. She didn't know what to do with them.....

I think it is absolutely gorgeous, one of the best uses of ties I have seen. Now I will have to start hitting the thrift stores for ties!

I really love the colors of the spokes. Not sure about the center though...I think I'd try a brighter color there...maybe a blue or red or yellow. Are your ties silk or poly? Or a combination? Would love to see the finished quilt!

This is my next project, hope mine turns out as well as yours.

I'm loving it. Others are right about the backgroud fabric pulling it all together. But in the end, you have to like it. If you're still not satisfied, try grouping them together by color. Like all blues in one block, reds, black and whites, browns, etc. Maybe that would suit your fancy. You did a great job. Sometimes, designs have to grow on you. Leave it up where you see it alot. Maybe it will finally click one day.
