Wow! This is a beautiful quilt!! (There is a book on using ties to make quilts. Our guild library has it. I know it was bought from Amazon.)

I bought a lot of silk ties at thrift stores and I washed them before I took them apart because I was afraid they would ravel too much. I washed them on the 5 min gentle cycle in cold water with regular laundry soap. They came out fine. I wish I had known this when my husband was wearing ties all the time and we always had them cleaned.
