Hi All,
Here is a pic of the necktie quilt top [without any borders yet] that I started around Christmas time.
Some of the vintage necktie pieces were pretty stretchy and tended to ravel, so I sewed lining material to each piece, and turned and ironed them before appliqueing the pieces to the blocks. This took some extra time, but I hope it will help with strength and use over time. [ATTACH=CONFIG]508189[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]508190[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]508191[/ATTACH]

Thank you so much for posting your tie quilt. My dsl rough me 3 bags of his ties. I have looked every where for this pattern and found several, but not this layout. Please tell me the size of your blocks.
