The seam allowance is anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2, it doesn't matter. Then press the fabrics to the interfacing & trim with a 4 1/2 inch square ruler.

I want to know so much more, too. Why did you have to use the interfacing? Is it washable? What happens if you use different kinds of ties, different fabrics I mean?
LOL, I think I need to do some searching on quilts from ties.
