Starting Another Quilt
September 22nd, 2009 @ 3:16 pmI have one last quilt on my list that I want to have done before the baby arrives. This quilt is for my Grandma. It will be made using my Grandpa’s neckties. I was given 37 of them and planning on using at least one or more strips of them all (whatever I can fit in). I’ve made up my own pattern and my fingers are crossed that it turns out looking all right. Here are a few photos of the ties (ironed, cut, and then showing me holding up some of them sewn together). I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

Very cool. I was wondering how you would put all that together. You are going to do fine with your own pattern. Don’t stress about it too much- you are so creative you’ll figure out a way to make it all work!

What a very cool idea! It will become a family heirloom, I’m sure … and a terrific present for your grandma. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done. You’re lucky you still have the energy to do projects like this!
