NECKTIES 1940s PIECED VINTAGE QUILT TOP
   

 



Each section is foundation pieced on a cotton backing, making this a substantial quilt top that doesn't even need a backing to provide enough weight to use as a quilt when bound. This fun example of a classic 1940s re use of neckties, in this case the shape of the tie is retained rather than being cut into small pieces so those great period patterns remain highly legible.
