I made 4 quilts that were tied by ladies at church a few months ago and they need more ties in them. I have set a goal to deliver them to Ronald McDonald House by Aug. 1 along with 4 other quilts. I'm thinking to do more quilting on them with the machine now that I have a Juki with a larger throat.

My options are (as I see them)

1. Add more ties - problem with this is that I don't have a place to do it other than sitting at the sewing table. We have a cat and I want to keep them away from any place that she sits so I don't get cat hair or dander on them.

2. Remove the ties and just quilt by machine - I'm concerned about leaving holes in the fabric. I will be laundering them before taking them to RMH

3. Leave the ties and add machine quilting - would that be tacky?

Thoughts? Other ideas? 2 photos attached but there are 4 quilts.

Thanks!
