My very first quilt was tied, a twin sized one. It was alternating squares of yellow and white gingham with plain white, trimmed in eyelet lace. I tied yellow yarn in the corners to secure them. I made it for my daughter when she was a baby. I still have it, folded across the back of the rocking chair I used while nursing about 33 years ago. When my son was born I made a matching baby quilt, except that I quilted a heart into the white squares. I use it as a desser scarf in the same room. Hah, it took me another 25 years before I made another quilt. Now I'm hooked and will always be a quilter.
