    It's absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing these pics. A man from church gave me two trash bags full of ties but I didn't have the slightest idea how to start a quilt. Now maybe I'll be able to put your pics to good use along with the ties.

    Hi, was wondering how your mom pieced the ties-did she remove the lining of the tie? sewed onto muslin with or without the tie lining? Also what does the back of her quilt look like? Material used for backing? Boy, do I have alot of questions! Appreciate your input.

    That is gorgeous. I have a bag full of ties, that would be a wonderful pattern to use.

    I have been looking at things to do with ties and found your quilt. Don't know how I missed it the first time around. It is really beautiful. Hope I can make one a pretty, although mine will be all machine work.

    good luck Pollyv9 momma took her neck ties all apart and all were hand washed and ironed .... if you have any with pictures in the center alot of 70's ones did great focal points ...... have fun working on your project
