I have seen a couple of really great quilts done with neck ties!
It reminded me of a wall quilt I did for my Dad a few years back.
My Mom used to make my Dad's ties when I was growing up. I ask him if he could send me some of those ties, and he did! I made him this wall quilt of his dress shirts and tie from the material of the ties Mom made, complete with a tie bar!
I think my Dad thought it would be a lot bigger! He said it didn't cover much!
