I have "Quilts from Neckties by Sharon Newman, Pub. 1995, Paperback (magazine size) book. General Directions for cleaning the ties to completion of one or all 11 patterns. Templates (scan and print) with clearly written instructions and clear diagrams :D
I found two on Amazon and one on Barnes/Noble the cheapest was $79.00; one on e-bay was $185.19 ... for pete's sake ...WOW!!
Oh My Word! I bought mine at a yard sale for 50-cents :roll: The original sticker is on my book $8.95. Now I'm almost sorry I mentioned the book, if you ever see it grab it!!!
Maybe your local library has this book, it would definitely be worth checking into.
Here are a couple more book names but I believe some of these are also out-of-print:

I did, however, find an interesting site "Artful Ties", lots of really neat ideas for using old ties including evening gowns!
