Quilted Silk Tie Pillow Case - a photo on Flickriver

Quilted Silk Tie Pillow Case

            Long ago I made two skirts out of silk ties. The first one was a failure, the second was successful. I ended up with scraps from both and just threw them in a bag. Every few years I'd pull the bag out and ponder what to do. A couple years ago I finally had my 'uh huh!' moment and decided to make a pillow case with the English paper piecing method. I hand pieced the hexagons over the course of a few months, then quilted them on my domestic machine.

It took a bit of trail and error to figure out how I was doing the back of the pillow. I tried putting the zipper in the center, hated it- then picked it apart and put the zipper along the edge while still putting on a binding. Very pleased with the results!
