Tie quilt flimsy finished
1 Attachment(s)
A friend asked me to make a quilt using her dead husband's ties. I'd made one 3 years ago for someone else, but most of her ties were polyester. These were all thin silk ties and stretched every which way. There are lots more wrinkles than I am happy with, but it's done. Also, I should have spaced the red ties better. Never again!

Nice job with flimsy fabric!

That silk had to be difficult, but your friend will love it for the memories.
|
Very nice...thanks for sharing.

Looks great without wasting much of the tie. Using some fusible interfacing might have helped you with the slick ties.

I agree with ManiacQuilter. Using fusible interfacing would have made it much easier to work with & the silk would have laid flatter & stable. The quilt is beautiful.

Looks great. Sure that she will love it. You are a good friend. BrendaK
