gable428 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Can you guys help me? My boss asked if I would make his son a quilt out of neckties. I am having a hard time finding patterns on the 'net. Does anyone know of any? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhondalea Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi Gable ~ It's been a long time since I made a tie quilt but I know you can open the ties and then use them as you would any scrap fabric. I am attaching a few pics for you and also this web link. Hope that helps. http://www.ehow.com/how_5176400_make-quilt-neckties.html Have fun and be sure to post your finished project! Looking forward to seeing it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koala-T Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 You can also make a log cabin with them. A guild member did one a few years ago and it was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gable428 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Donna, that is very nice! Did you piece it like normal blocks or did you have to sew the ties to a foundation like muslin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna sco Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 The silk ties were all fused and then sewn onto muslin. Fairly heavy. Was told not to quilt it but to quilt the backing to the batting and tack it to the front like a crazy quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
