Alright, I promise you this is the last I'll tout Hand and Hand, my new zine project, on my personal blog for awhile. I just wanted to share the project I contributed to The Knot issue with you all. 

I've designed a super simple tied quilt that lets the ties take the stage in all of their wooly goodness. The project was inspired by a tied quilt my great grandmother made for my Aunt Kim before I was born. I always loved how the wool ties felted into little pompoms, so I had to try my hand at a modern version.

There's also a little bonus content: a comprehensive, step by step guide on how to bind a quilt.

I intended this project for a beginner – even someone who doesn't own a sewing machine can do it. If you're a seasoned quilter, this would be a super fun and easy project to give as a gift. Making a tied quilt actually made me regard them with more affection than I ever did before. The binding tutorial is also one of my favorite parts of the zine, and I hope you'll check it out.

Now back to regularly scheduled content!
