If any one has any necktie quilt patterns please let me know where I can get the patterns. I'm desperately looking to make a quilt with neckties but haven't been able to find the pattern. I have found a necktie quilt that I would love to make but need the pattern for it.

Yes, the book "Daddy's Ties" has scads of ideas - from quilts to lamp shades. Great book. I made two dresdens from Daddy's ties and I'm working/thinking about two crazy quilts. Ties are amazingly easy to work with, but you must interface the really silky ones first.

Don't miss the pictures on Flicker of items made from neckties. Lots. One blog is: http://sewingwithneckties.blogspot.com/ go all the way to the bottom. Also use 'Search' above because another quilter had the same question a few weeks ago.
