More Quilting Inspiration
Cauchy09 had, from what I can tell, several hundred neckties that had belonged to her dad.
She decided to incorporate them into quilts.
At one point she randomly decided that 3.25" x 7" rectangles would be the appropriate size, so this limited her design options
She decided upon this gorgeous rail fence pattern, done in quadrants of like colors

She still had lots of ties left over, so she made another quilt top, this one an experiment in color and random placement
Another view here.
Vegan Vice made this amazing crazy quilt
Sometimes I see items on ebay or elsewhere that inspire me.
This quilt was up on ebay
The description read: "This is such a beautiful Vintage Patchwork quilt made from old ties. It's in good condition !!!! This is very collectable!! I found this at an estate sale in Pennsylvannia.
This is so gorgeous and measures 72"x68" inches."

Another one from ebay, this one more like folk art...just random, like a string quilt

Hi Barb, I have greatly enjoyed looking at all these photos - it is such great eye candy! Have you visited my blog recently? I posted some photos of a Quilt and Craft Fair I went to last week and one of the quilts was made of ties. I thought of you immediately and took a photo of it
just to post on my blog!
Oh my goodness.. those are beautiful! I love these quilts. What a great inspiration, I have been meaning to recycle some old fabrics from shirts, pants and other non-used items into quilts.
Now I will be on the lok out for old ties to do the same with!
These are gorgeous. Could be an inexpensive way to get silk, too!
