I like it and you did get it right!

I love it keep going can't wait to see the finished product

I do,how can you not?

Red for the center!! That might just do it!! :-D Thanks for the tip.

I like it, has lots of interest. Bet you will love it when it is done.

Oh, Yes..lovely dresden!

I think it is beautiful!

I love it. I've been wanting to make a necktie quilt for my grandsons but really didn't know where to start. Thanks for the picture.

I forgot to mention...my DH and DS are creeped out by the clown face. ROFL :lol:

Neck tie quilt question?
Did you use all silk ties?
Did you wash before use?

Will this be your center square -or-
are you making more plates??

I have about 40 ties (all silk) I want
to use be need above info.

Dorian, looks great. My husband passed away almost two years ago and I have wanted to make a quilt with his ties. Did you wash the tie fabric before you started puting it together? Also, please show the pic when you are finished. I bet it will come out great.

Love it so far.. Thisis another one of my dream projects that I hope to complete!!

Very unique. It is great.

I love scrappy and this is beautiful!
I think you will be more pleased as you see more of them together :D:D:D

I couldn't do that, even if I tried. That is so beautiful. Pat your self on your back for this.

I agree, red would be the perfect color for the centers and maybe even the background.

You can sigh with a big smile on your face .....it is a great Dresden! Can't wait to see more .

I love this!

Wow! stunning!!! :lol:

did you use the narrow end of the tie seeing as you used 20 ties? I really like and now counting how many I would need for a quilt I have 300 saved as of now. I was making tie skirts.

Yes, they are all silk. I checked them over for stains, but I did not wash them first. I am going to be making more plates, just like this one. Although, I think I'm going to use the idea of putting a red colored tie in the center.

Yes, I did use the narrow end too. I only got 1 plate out of the end though, the rest came from the wider part. I got about 6 blades out of each tie.

It is great!! Wonderful necktie dresden!!

I love it!! I plan to make 1 for my 2 kids of their dad's into a pillow or wall hanging.



:thumbup: :thumbup:

I love the color,s it takes the pattern to a much higher level. I like this much better than any others I have seen.

I really like it-it has a lot of character. I wouldn't decide on a background color until you have more blocks made. I think you will like it better when finished.

LOOKS GREAT TO ME NICE JOB

I really like this!! Love the way you put the ties together.

I think it is beautiful!

What do I think ? I think it's gorgeous !

I think it's wonderful!! Keep going :D

I love it!

You did an awesome job! That's on my to do list.

I think its really cool. Love the clown tie!

awesome .......I love it

If you don't quite like it, try making more of a "y" out of some of your same colors. For example: the ties with red positioned at 2, 7 and 10 o'clock. I also agree that pulling out a lighter color for the center might do the trick. See how you like the red, play with different sizes for the right balance.

I have made a crazy quilt using ties, and donated it to a charity auction. I am sorry I didnt keep it. and no pictures . I will make another one as soon as I collect enough ties.

I think it looks great.

The Dresden is one of my favorite patterns and someday I'll make one with neckties.

It's very nice!
