I did find this site for a pattern if your interested, not the same as her lovely one, but at least one using ties.

I just got off the phone with my mom - my Dad has a bunch of old silk ties! Yay! I want to make this quilt for him it is soooo beautiful. I will look for the magazine at the library unless someone has a pattern? Did you hand applique the ties on or machine piece? I am very excited about this, my Dad is 85 years old, what a nice gift for Christmas! :D

Showed this quilt to my DD and she said it was the best use of ties she had ever seen! She is not often impressed, so good job! I still can't believe how beautiful this is. I am definitly going to ask the men of our church to donate their ties. Maybe we could raffle it off next year to pay for VBS. So pretty! :D :D :D
