I saw the coolest pattern on the web (sorry I didn't save it but go surfing when you have time).
The pattern used the collar and part of the front of the shirt to make a square (or retangle if you desire) and appliqued old ties between the collar points. You could even appliqe the cuffs on the side of the shirt to look like it was folded.
Nice idea for a remembrance quilt for someon who's male family/friend has passed on.
