I LOVE this quilt.
I bought 2 BIG boxes of ties at a Girls and Boys Club fundraiser. I tossed them in the washing machine set on cold, because they were all stained (reds together, blues together etc)- and hung them outside to dry. Then I took out the stitches and threw away the linings.
After that, I treated them like any other BIAS fabric. I've foundation pieced with them - NOT paper pieced, because they need a foundation. I used some of the blocks on a robe for DGD. Unfortunately, no pictures. I still have a LOT of ties left.
