  Way cool !!! I’m just learning to quilt and this is a great idea for someone that has lots of ties. Me I don’t. Maybe I can sponge them off others. ha. Thanks for showing.

  Love the quilt! Did you open the ties out and remove the linings before sewing them to a fabric square? I am about to try one of these and I think that is what I will do. However, my husband thinks I should not open the ties out completely.

  Is it possible to get the pattern for this necktie quilt? I just acquired several ties and plan to buy more!

• 13. Trena Walton  |  June 26th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

  I would love to have the pattern, too. My father-in-law passed away April 29, 2008 and in cleaning out his closet, I found the most gorgeous ties.

• 14. Ann Smith  |  July 15th, 2008 at 3:47 pm

  Where can I find instructions on quilting with neck ties?

• 15. Bonnie  |  July 16th, 2008 at 2:20 am

  neighbor makes tie quilts… you have to get them at garage sales or church sales.. wash them all n dry in dryer… take them apart n iron. take 8 or 9 inch pieces of material. sew strips of tie on one end and lay another piece on n sew..n keep going u can get 4 or 5 different colors on one block.. after you figure what size quilt u want… you figure how many you need to make to get the size you want…. she then gets a sheet or large quilters material for the backing, but doesnt put the quilters batting inbetween as it will be way to heavy..if you have more quiestions..email me

• 17. Rebecca  |  September 11th, 2008 at 2:26 pm

  My mother-in-law and I both quilt and have been looking for a pattern for this… any ideas on where to get it? We’re also looking for a handkerchief quilt that doesn’t require them to be cut.

• 18. Sue C  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:17 pm

  I will join the ranks of those wishing for the pattern. It is a beautiful quilt and love your grandmother for her forethought.
  Thanks for sharing her talent.

  There is a PDF file called Hooked on Hankies here that uses whole handkerchiefs.

• 23. Greta Beach  |  December 2nd, 2008 at 5:23 pm

  Well now that I look at it, it is hankie prints but I think you can use real hankies too.

  I am so excited to finally get some ideas to make a necktie quilt. I have a shopping bag nearly full of my husband’s silk ties – some of them $35.00 and $40.00 each – so this should make a beautiful quilt. I have asked around for years for help in getting started – even 1 friend who quilts non-stop and she could not get me started.

  THANKS – NANCY SHEALEY

• 25. Debbie  |  January 10th, 2009 at 7:20 am

  I’ve always wanted to make a necktie quilt too and have just been asked this week to make one – and she gave me all his ties – I would really like the pattern and instructions.

• 26. Nancy  |  February 3rd, 2009 at 10:41 am

  About.com has an article on making a quilt from silk ties. It was made using ties and the log cabin pattern.

• 27. brenda  |  February 7th, 2009 at 8:51 pm

  that’s a pretty cool idea. The quilt looks awesome

• 28. brenda  |  February 7th, 2009 at 8:52 pm

  That’s a preety good idea. The quilt looks awesome.

• 29. Berti  |  March 15th, 2009 at 1:28 pm

  I am going to make a necktie quilt as a donation for an animal rescue. I got all of the silk ties from donations to the thrift shops. So far this is the best idea I have found. I am going to leave the ties as is and sew strips into blocks and then blocks together for the top. The back I am going to use the smaller strips and sew them into logcabin blocks.

  I like the way this was quilted. I think I will copy that for my quilt.

• 30. Mary  |  April 6th, 2009 at 2:24 pm

  I too, would love to have the pattern and instructions for this beautiful necktie quilt.

• 32. Tali Mullins  |  May 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm

  I would love to have your pattern. My dad died yesterday and he had so many ties and his dad had many ties that went to him so I’d love to make this and have it as a reminder.

• 33. Edie Bradt  |  June 19th, 2009 at 9:48 pm

  I’d love to have a pattern for the necktie quilt. My husband passed away in April and had a great collection of ties….I’d love to make a quilt out of them. My husband and I made t-shirt quilts…Pete was the designer and pinner I was the cutter and sewer….they turned out great. T-shirt quilts are a great way to save all those memories from treasured t-shirts.

• 34. Kathy Trachsel  |  July 9th, 2009 at 7:52 am

  I love this quilt, and am interested in making one using my dad’s old ties. How may I get a pattern or instructions for making it?

• 35. Tina Morrison  |  July 13th, 2009 at 6:02 am

• 36. Linda Bowman  |  August 11th, 2009 at 5:45 pm

• 37. Barb Sheeley  |  August 27th, 2009 at 2:23 pm

  Your quilt is lovely. I would like to make one. Can you provide the pattern & easy instructions. I have made a couple of machine quilts but nothing with ties.

• 38. Steven Dow  |  September 21st, 2009 at 1:42 pm

  Hi Dacia,
  I live in Boston, MA Are there any quilt makers you know of in the area that could make a neck tie quilt for me? Thank you very much!

  Hi, I have read all the comments and I like so many would like to have the instructions and the pattern. Your quilt is beautiful. I hope you answered all the rest with with the instructions and the pattern. Thanks

• 40. Her Craftiness  |  October 25th, 2009 at 7:31 pm

  Sorry, all. I don’t have the pattern. My grandma made this. If I had it, I would post it! Please let us all know if you have a pattern like this.

• 41. Delight Reisanuer  |  October 26th, 2009 at 4:59 pm

  The quilt is beautiful. I am trying to decide how to make one with my collection of ties. I saw a pattern years ago in a magazine which used the full tie but have never found the pattern again. Wish I had kept it.

  God bless you.
