Ties That Bind

I have a big shopping bag of neckties that belonged to my father-in-law.  I plan to make some wall hangings from them for B., his siblings, and mom.My first step will be to take them apart and wash them.  I haven't decided anything past that.  I would like to try some applique and also pieced.  I think they would look good in a log cabin pattern with narrow logs.  They are of all different fabric content so there will be some challenges there.Have any of you made a quilt from ties?  I am open to any suggestions you may have.
