Looking for a tutorial using neck ties
I would like to make a table topper using Christmas ties. I thought I had seen a tutorial on here but can not find it, or maybe I was dreaming. The pattern is like a Dresden Plate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1. Wash ties with cool water and detergent,plus a tablespoon of dawn dish soap.
2. Take ties apart and press
3. Iron a light weight stabilizer in the back of the fabric.
4. Cut the fabric into desired shapes and sew together. Feel free to PM me if questions. My sewing group just made a sampler quilt with neckties,I'll post it in a couple of weeks after I get done quilting it.

I googled 'Dresden plate quilt block from ties' Here's a couple of hits, which follow Francie's instructions. You will need some kind of a wedge template.
