Neck tie quilts can be very colorful and beautiful. They are designed out of men's neck ties which you can either purchase at a bargain store for very little money, or you can collect the old ties from your husbands and sons, which would make these quilts even more personal.
Although neck tie quilts are usually designed as bed hangings, they can also be hung on walls, which would really make a lovely expression in any room.
Neck tie quilts can also be made from a collection of autographed neckties of people who have served their community such as teachers, ministers and athletes, just to name a few.
This would be a wonderful project for the people in your community to take part in, as it would serve as a social gathering where everyone in the community will have a chance to meet and get to know each other better.
This quilt can be in the form of a signature quilt/neck tie quilt where each quilter gets to sign their quilt block making it an even more personal experience.
There are websites that offer some great ideas for making neck tie quilts including instructions and kits. On this page are numerous links to such sites for your ease of reference.
