    Default Memorial Necktie Quilt

    After I offered to make a quilt for my dear friend Jane, I went to QB for advice. I used the Darlene Zimmerman Dresden template. Opened each tie, cut into 18" blades, etc. This was a slippery challenge even with iron on interfacing. The beautiful quilting by Sue Baddley elevates the whole piece. So here is The Great Mann Quilt in honor of Bernie Mann.
