I understand from basic Google research that it shouldn't be batted, and should be tied as opposed to machine quilted, and probably doesn't need to be bound, just enveloped.
----------------------------
What? Shouldn't be batted? Why not? I've made some and always used batting, they were made to be used. I, personally, love heavy quilts, probably because that was what I was raised with in cold, snowy WV. My DH learned to like being covered in cold weather with them or others, all heavy.
Tied and not machine quilted? Well, most likely that's because of all the "crazy" seams in it, might not look well, or work very well, but if that's what YOU want, go for it. At least give it a try. You might wind up way too familiar with Sammy Seam Ripper, but then you would know for sure.
Doesn't need to be bound? That doesn't sound right to me, because of all the different seam endings, I would want a padded seam binding on it. It's your quilt, no quilt police will come pounding on your door. I think you will love the finished quilt and will love it more as time goes by and friends and family complement you on it.
