Very pretty. Did you have trouble working with the ties? They are
so slick.

Love St. Pete. Are you going to Lakeland? If I can, I am. Don't know because I may have to work.

Log cabin quilt out of men's ties?
Intriguing! Are you cutting the ties into
'logs' or just using their own shapes??
Did you need to put fusible interfacing on them
to be able to handle them?
Pictures??

Wow that's great! Did you design it or do you have a pattern name? I'm collecting ties for a crazy quilt but love your Dresden Design. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

This is great and your quilting looks awesome. I love the challenge of making something out of nothing. You are going to have us all digging around for neck ties. Well done!

I use to collect ties and save for a quilt but I think I must have gotten rid of them the last time I moved. My DH wasn't too happy with all the crates of fabric he had to move anyway.
