Was just wondering if you quilted each of your block then pieced the blocks together?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714609675931013221.post-85130954421871358192018-01-27T08:48:18.447-05:002018-01-27T08:48:18.447-05:00I did use Shi9rley Botsford's Daddy's Ties...I did use Shi9rley Botsford's Daddy's Ties book for how to treat the ties. I modified the Dresden block to have pointy Dresdens to make them more obvious as ties :)<br /><br />My blocks are 6" blocks. If using a Dresden Ruler, you will need an 18* wedge :)Shout4Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09422018467026309768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714609675931013221.post-81240582586967353222018-01-26T17:18:28.744-05:002018-01-26T17:18:28.744-05:00I am just looking for a pattern of this quilt ...y...I am just looking for a pattern of this quilt ...you must have used the 10 degree wedge, what size were your blocks and what size did you make the wedges? Thank you. I have made a tie quilt previously, although it was not like yours.

Or did you just use her instructions on preparing the ties? I really love this quilt! I've been buying ties up at estate, garage, yard sales and have a couple hundred ties now, just waiting for the right pattern to come along and this is it! I found the book on Amazon but wasn't sure if I should get it or not, it has no discriptions on how many/what patterns are in the book. <br />Thanks youShelly "Mamacita"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03030740323885705265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714609675931013221.post-42363427574029912942011-06-25T15:51:40.621-04:002011-06-25T15:51:40.621-04:00What a lovely quilt, Joy. My dad passed away in M...What a lovely quilt, Joy. My dad passed away in March 2008. I was in Germany when he passed away and I wasn't here when my brother got rid of my dad's belongings. My dad was a car salesman and wore ties every day. All that I got was his ties. I wasn't informed when they got rid of all his stuff, and wish I had known they were going to do it. I would have flown home so I could get some items that reminded me of him. He had a favorite shirt he liked to wear. Every blue moon I'll see a man with a shirt on that's similar to my daddy's and I get such a wave of longing that takes over me. I didn't make it back from Germany before he passed away. He knew I was trying to get a flight out, but it was Easter weekend, and all the flights were booked, and I was having an L of a time. Mom said he was in really bad shape and he asked if I was here yet, and Mom told him I wasn't that I was still trying to get a flight out of Germany. He said, "Tell her I love her," and then he passed away. Mom said she thought he was holding on with all he had until I got here, but he just didn't have the strength any more. He passed away 2 days before my twin daughters 31st birthday.<br /> <br />I've been searching for a quilt to make with his ties, and haven't come across anything that made me think of my dad. But your quilt does.<br /><br />Did you write down your pattern when you made your quilt? If so, would you please share it with me? I'm new to quilting, and I know trying to duplicate the pattern would totally be over my head. I'm proud of the fact I can even sew the 1/4" seams with any accuracy.<br /><br />Anyway, if you can share the pattern as well as any tips/hints (like did you wash the ties, and did you "open them up"), I'd really appreciate it.<br /><br />Thank you so very, very much.Deborah in Atlantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372213272314599026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714609675931013221.post-145005149508533392011-05-21T15:56:14.471-04:002011-05-21T15:56:14.471-04:00Fabulous idea, and beautiful quilt!Fabulous idea, and beautiful quilt!Anne Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980121747791507415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714609675931013221.post-61610629736500003732011-05-21T13:29:46.821-04:002011-05-21T13:29:46.821-04:00Beautiful quilt, congratulations:)Beautiful quilt, congratulations:)Loncihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11338945377831765050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714609675931013221.post-90657974586355403382011-05-20T20:59:07.230-04:002011-05-20T20:59:07.230-04:00Great quilt, Joy!
