This former co-worker donated a bag of his ties to the quilt cause. When he decided to retire I used his tie to make this quilt. His comment? "If I'd known it would end up in my quilt, I'd have given you better ties." He gave me several Beatles ties. The Yellow Submarine had the best colors! I appliqued it to the taupe fabric base, then used the remaining tie to form the knot (stuffed with fiberfill) and even had enough left over for the binding! After one row of quilting around the tie, I knew it would look great with waves of the same quilting radiating out around it. This was a really quick quilt to do! He absolutely loved it. So did I.
