Beautiful!!!

I have my Dad's ties and have been looking for a pattern. You did a beautiful job. I just had to read through all the post and gathered all the information you provided. Thank you for sharing. PS: I found the book at Amazon and it's on the way.....

You are so creative. Love your design.

Sew very very cool!!!

Oh beautiful quilt. I wanna make one, what fabric did you use for the quarter circle?

I do love this, and have many ties of my Daddy's. Where did you get your pattern?

Best use of ties I have seen anywhere! Great job.

Did you open the ties or are they sew on without removing the innerfacing

Lovely quilt-great use of ties.

I would think a Bento Box pattern would work up really nicely with old ties.

I like this very much. What a great idea. Now where to get some ties.

Did you have to take the ties apart then do a Dresden? I have been collecting ties to do a quilt but fail to find a pattern on how. I really like your quilt, it's beautiful. I am anxious to see how you did this. With probably 400 or more ties I need to do this project.

Wonderful! I love this tie quilt.

You did a marvelous job on this quilt!!! I see myself raiding my husband's closet someday!

Wonderful quilt. I would love to make one!

I get some of mine at Goodwill & Thrift stores. Great selections & cheap!

I have only seen a few quilts made from men's ties, but your is the prettiest one I have ever seen. Great Job.

What a beautiful quilt. So bright and cheerful.

I just saw your tie quilt; it is the nicest tie quilt I have seen. It is great that it has been on the board for several years. Everyone really likes it !!!

That is a beautiful quilt!

That's beautiful!!!

Check on amazon.com.

The border really sets off the blocks! Wonderful quilt.

Really lovely quilt - the border is a gorgeous accent to the fan blocks - great job!

that is beautiful! you did a wonderful job on your quilt!

Check with your local library. If not on their shelves they can request an inter library loan at no charge to you. I do this often when looking for a particular pattern or even so I can preview a book at my leisure before purchasing. Ann in TN

"I looked for the book at Fons and Porter and it is now discontinued.
Will have to watch for one on Ebay or something."

You have done a beautiful job!

Wow! What a beauty!! The color is outstanding! And the pattern is super, too!

that is a really neat design to make a quilt with ties

Really, really beautiful! And thank goodness for these technology-saavy kids.

That is incredible!!!!, I would have never thought of that!

Now I know what to do with all the ties I've collected from the guys in my family. Thank you for sharing such a pretty quilt. :)

Hi. I agree, what a beautiful quilt!
I am not a quilter, but have all of my dad's ties that my mother has saved through the years for a quilt. My sister and I would like to have a quilt made from them for her. Any suggestions as to people/places I could contact that would perhaps make it for us? We don't even know where to start. I'm in Birmingham, AL.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

I would start by googling it and see what some of the sites show. Just a place to start.

Thanks, I googled and found this site :)

This is stunning! The center is fabulous & then the border just really takes it to that next level!

I would like to know how I can get a copy of this '"TIE QUILT". I am new to this computer communication as well as this site. I really hope someone can help me. Regards, Suey
