I LOVE your tie/shirt quilt! What a neat pattern to use with the ties. When my dad died a number of years ago, we saved just a few of his ties (I wasn't a quilter then), but I was able to make small little quilts for my brothers with what we had. How special this quilt will be.
I also love this quilt. I have a bag of ties that I've been wanting to do something very similar with, sort of a dresden-plate-y thing like you're doing. I was going to just use the ties as-is and sew them down onto the backing, but I dug around and see you deconstructed and washed the ties first - then re-made tie shapes out of them? More work but nice and clean, and not so bulky. Very clever. I can't wait to see the final result!
