Thank you for your kind remarks. It was really fun making. I am now working on a flying geese top. Have the top done and finished with the basting last night. I can hardly wait til tonight so I can start hand quilting. That is so relaxing to me.

I made my first necktie quilt a few years ago. It was made with ties donated by the deacons of our church,and given to our pastor to honor his 20 year anniversary as pastor of our church. I can hardly wait to make another. It turned out beautiful. I have several boxes of ties I have acquired just waiting for the next tie quilt.Loved seeing yours. Really nice use & such a special memory for your friend. I like each of mine to have special significance as well, and be cherished for generations to come.

I found the Fons and Porter "Quilts from the Heart" book at Thirftbooks.com. It cost me $1.99 and $3.99 for shipping. I received it on Saturday. I thought is was going to be a paperback and I got a hardback in almost perfect conditon. Very please with it. Can't wait to give the fan quilt a try. (using ties of course)
