Absolutely beautiful! My hubby probably have that many ties! Still wears about half! I don't think I could make them into that beauty! Won't even try! You are talented!

This quilt is stunning. I am so glad you made this beautiful quilt for your friend whose husband passed. She will cherish having his ties in a quilt. A lady friend gave me her husband that has passed his ties. I have 40 of them. I would love to know if I can just use the ties as they are or have to wash them to keep them from fading. Any suggestions? Thank you for posting this.

I suggest you wash them..on gentle,cold water,in your machine. Ties have neck sweat,lunch leftovers etc. on them,you know...

Beautiful! I think one of the prettiest tie quilts I've seen!

I think the blocks were 12" before seams. Yes, I lined each applique piece, turned them inside-out and then stitched them onto the white fabric with a decorative zig-zag-type stitch. Enjoyed making this. This was my first applique quilt.

Nice job!!! I've got a box full of old ties that I need to do something with. I really like the fan.

What a great way to keep my dad close! What size is this posted quilt?

I love the blocks you made, as well as the border. Your quarter circles are good design elements as well.

You did a awesome job.

that is lovely! and I really like your braided border. Were the centers of the fans also made with ties?

This THE coolest tie quilt I have ever seen. Pure genius.

Breathtaking handiwork! My father has over 300 ties and this makes me think of him getting ready for work in the morning :) great memories and a great job :)

One question about tie quilts. How well do they wash and wear over time. Does the fabric in the tie become fluffy.
Lovely quilt.

twinkie 03-06-2017 04:43 AM

That is such a neat way to use ties. I love it.

DeborahH 03-23-2017 06:40 PM

What an awesome way to use ties. Haven't seen this style of a tie quilt. You did a great job.
