    They are all beautiful. But the crazy quilt really caught my eye! It is amazing, and the way you did the border with the ties is awesome. You are very talented!

    You are very creative! Really beautiful! How did you prepare the ties? Did you clean them, before working with them? If so how?

    We all have a bunch of ties from our family members and now you have given us something to think about here!!
    So thanks for sharing!!!!

    I have a tote full of ties, all washed and ready to use, but haven't decided on how to construct a quilt although I do have the book "Daddys Ties".

    All your tie quilts are beautiful. I have worked with ties on a few quilts. Just finished one for a friend, who lost your husband this year. She was so pleased. He had so many unique ties, it was really fun to work with them.
