It depends on how you want to do a necktie quilt. If you want to retain the original shape then a variation of the Dresden plate works well. If you put necktie quilt in the QB search box some should come up. If you want to cut the ties into piecing shapes then there are lots of patterns you can use But some neckties need special treatment. Wash your ties in the same way you would wash the quilt and see how they act. The ones that hold up well can be opened up, the lining removed and sometimes you will need to fuse them to a lightweight interfacing to stabilize them as all ties are cut on the bias.
