There is a book called Daddys Ties. it has great ideas in it. I found mine on Amazon.

Here's a couple pictures I found and saved for future reference. My daughter's favorite teacher has a tie collection that he keeps at school. He wears a different one every day and received them all from his students over the years. I hope he takes me up on my offer to make a quilt with them for him when he retires in a couple years.
