Mable, you have done such a very good job blending all the different shades of the ties. When I first looked at it I thought all his ties were almost alike. Then I look at the closeup of the 2nd photo and see they are 'not' all similar. I see the beautiful blend of shades is your work of art. I know I will never get to that level of skill but I will be able to enjoy the beauty through others' creations. This is stunning. Very very beautiful.

The light colors are about 1/2 light colored ties and 1/2 khaki broadcloth.
I cut 5 inch squares of lightweight fusible interfacing, put a piece of light & dark fabric right sides together & sewed them directly to the sticky side of the interfacing from corner to corner. The seam allowance is anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2, it doesn't matter. Then press the fabrics to the interfacing & trim with a 4 1/2 inch square ruler.
