Ties gutted

I have finished "gutting" Marty's ties. I now have three piles -- the ties, the labels and the "guts". I may just reuse the guts in a work I will call "Kishkes" (Yiddish for intestines...)
While gutting, I pondered what type of quilt to make and I still don't know. I am leaning towards a medallion quilt with ties in a circle with the labels in the centre of the circle. I could then do simple blocks with a folded tie in each block. A few sashes from ties. I just don't know yet.
While I was gutting them, though, I was very impressed with some of the fabrics, patterns, and colours. I think my next step will be to sort them into colour and value families and see what happens.
I also had a call from Johanna for whom I will be making a chuppah. So I want to finish the ties before then. I also have to finish the mezuza for the POM exhibit. And a piece I started with my father's kippah and some ties. So I have plenty to do. If I spend less time watching old movies and surfing the web, I should get it all done...
