Your quilt is so beautiful, I have never seen another one like it! You did a wonderful job making it. Thank you for sharing!
|
Your quilt is amazing! You did such a good job on it. I also wish I had saved my DH old ties.
|
I love your tie quilt and the border is just icing on the cake!! I have collected a box full of ties. I have just put off getting to them because I didn't know a really pretty pattern for the ties......this is IT!! I found them at yard sales and at a place in Texas where you could buy things by the pound. I racked up on that one. Anyway....stunning quilt, my favorite is always scrappy quilts!! Beautiful!

That is really beautiful, I love the color way you have used.
|
ive seen a few tie quilts and this one is one of the prettiest! i love it!
|
Did you follow info from a book/ pattern - or just made it up.
My father in law died last year and I have 60-70 ties and wanted to do something like this for memory quilt. Perfect pattern to be able to divide by color, patterns, etc. Any help is appreciated... |
Lovetoquilt gave this info on post #22
"The pattern is from a book by Fons and Porter. "Quick Quilts from the Heart." The pattern itself is called fancy fans. The border on theirs had a scalloped border but I did the braided border so I could use more of the fabric from the ties. Yes I used parts of all the ties. I needed 96 different ties to have a tie on each blade of the fan. I only had 171 ties so I had to used 25 of the ties twice." She gave the wrong info on number of ties and corrected that in post #40 something. I found a copy of the quick quilts from the heart at the library. You might try there. |
Beautiful. I have started a collection of ties.
