Made entirely of silks and satins, it is believed that this late 19th century quilt was pieced from silk ties! You construct your version however you wish, although instructions for using ties will be given. This quilt lends itself to machine methods, but the hand piecing instructions are also included. Start collecting those out-of-date ties and make your own memory quilt. This is also dazzling in jewel tone cottons.

Finished dimensions
approximately 54" x 64" |
Rotary dimensions, hand piecing directions and paper piecing templates are included. The quilt label illustrations are cleverly remniscent of the tie labels sewn onto the insides. No quilting is necessary as the original is tied.

A spectacular quilt that bears a remarkable resemblance to the Cathedral Window pattern. Pieced by a member of the Vanderbilt family in 1835, it is instead, constructed entirely with melon and star-shaped pieces that intermingle with each other to create the window illusion. Since each " star" is only about five inches, your collection of scraps can be useful! Make this bed quilt size or a smaller version wallhanging. Truly a conversation piece!

Finished dimensions
approximately 92" x 75" |
