ohhh...I collect ties too. I have for years and had plans to make a cool skirt I clipped out of a magazine. Unsew them then sew together long ways (you keep the point intact) then turn the waist band over and put elastic in. Sounded so easy but I still have bags and bags of ties. I finally did something with a few of them last year..and again this year. Definitely not a sewing project but pretty cool. See http://kitchenbouquet.blogspot.com/2009/04/silk-wrapped-eggs.html and http://kitchenbouquet.blogspot.com/2010/04/happy-easter-and-tie-dye-act-ii.html Its not really easter egg time, but you could tuck this away for later.
Can't wait to see what you do with the ties quilt wise. I've always adored the crazy quilts.
I collect ties...garage sales, husband's closet, son's closet...even have ties from a co-worker whose husband passed on.
