these are great, quick question - on the first two, how did you prep the ties before piecing? I have a huge bag of ties to use, I have washed them but not taken apart yet. not looking forward to that part but ... I also have a gazillion yards of silk, my so worked for tie company, when they sent all jobs to China and closed down I got rolls and rolls of fabrics ... the only way I've been able to use any of it was pp'ing, it's just too slippery otherwise. Any tips on using the stuff?

A friends hubby was a banker for many years and she wanted a quilt with his ties and shirts. That is the last two pics. I made a small wall hanging using the shirt front, collar and tie.
