Welcome from Michigan! you will find alot of info and guidance here!
first i would start a new thread in the "main" section, reguarding a quilt made with ties.
never done one..and probably never will, i am not real sure of working with fabric other than cotton, or t-shirts.
Good Luck and keep us posted!
do you have the basic supplies to start? sewing machine,rotary cutter,cutting board, and ruler?

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. At the top go to search and type in tie quits, tie, etc. and there is a lot of pictures and such that might give you some ideas.
