If you do a Google search, I think there are some free instruction out there.

There are also a couple books:

Daddy's Ties can be found on Amazon.com

I have the one below to sell but it is a bit pricey as it is out of print & not easily obtainable.

Ties Ties Ties; Traditional Quilts From Neckties by Janet B. Elwin; American Quilter’s Society; 1996, 152p. Just as quilting ancestors recycled many materials to use in quilts, Janet B. Elwin uses ties. Not only does she share the history of these quilts, but she provides wonderful patterns and color pictures of her tie quilts as well as those she has viewed across the country. The projects range from small wallhangings to large bed quilts. Some suggest specific necktie colors, patterns, and fiber content to use while making these creative quilts. Quilters can adapt the innovative suggestions in this book to create their own designs. (used-minor shelf wear to cover & previous owners name written on 1st page) $29.00
