There’s a quilt instruction book on Amazon called “Daddy’s Ties” by Shirley Botsford, and another called “Ties Ties Ties: Traditional Quilts from Neckties” by Janet B. Elwin. She has another book out called “Necktie Sampler Blocks,” also on Amazon. You could also use them to make a log cabin quilt, cutting the ties into long strips.

Lots of them. Try a search on about.com or
You can cut them up and piece them into any pattern, or you can make a dresden design from them.

I agree with the person who suggested the book “Daddy’s Ties” . It’s a great book and offers some really offbeat other ideas for uses of the ties.
