I have only tied one quilt because it was with a Fatt Batt and I couldn't hand quilt through all of it. It was an Around the World quilt pattern and I used the cotton twine I got at a shop where they did macrame and I did small X's at the junctions and channeled under the fabric to the next corner. I made that quilt over 25 years ago and it has been in constant use. It looks like the devil now but my son and his wife drag it out in the winter and snuggle under it while watching movies.
