Default Bow Tie Quilt

I was going to try to make a crazy quilt using my dad's bow ties but I just didn't have the sewing skills to do it so I had started it then put it aside because the material was hard for me to sew on. It was silky. I picked it up last year and finished it and sent it off to my niece who adored my dad.

That is so cool, certainly was not what I expected to see when I clicked on your post (I thought it was the bow tie block). It turned out really nice.

Just adorable! This is the cutest quilt I've ever seen made from ties! I always thought I would make one but like you said they are hard to handle. This is a great way to do one!
