Gordon's Necktie Quilt

We decided early on to go with a brick pattern since the ties were so disparate in color and style.


The little tags on the ends of each were labeled so that I could determine which strip of bricks came next.

I found actual suiting material to use as the backing. It's a wool-cashmere blench pinstripe in gray. Also, Gordon shares his initials with Geoffrey Beane and although that particular tie wasn't among GB's collection, I had to use it to throw in some personalization. Here is the quilt with the back pinned and ready to finish.

And here it is done.

All quilts by kate are one-of-a-kind originals. A quilt like this would be priced at $600.
