Wish I didn't get rid of my DHs old neckties. Now I see your good idea and could use some. I think you should use your block for a center and make the rest of the quilt in something else picking up the colors from the ties. (Unless you have tons of ties to use up).

I wish I would have done this with the tie quilt I made. It would have been so much easier. Looking forward to seeing it when it's completed. Very nice job!

wonderful job using the ties. I have some of my husband's but he did not wear flashy colorful ties mostly browns,greens and I do not think they will make a very pretty quilt. Your dresden is great, are you going to have enough to do more blocks or are you going to make more with different fabrics. Please share when you have completed it. I also think the background will make the quilt.

I am looking for ways to use my husbands ties. He passed away Jan 19, 2013 and I want to make something for our daughters to have from his things. Thought a quilt of ties would work just right. Maybe intermingle some of the fabrics from his shirts as the background?

That is beautiful. Fons and Porter had a show on about this last Saturday. I am fascinated by these.
