length of ties on tied quilt
While on vacation, my aunt has gotten me to help her [read as... I work, she watches] make a tied quilt for her twin bed. She wanted it to reach to the floor, so it took up every bit of the high loft queen batt I ordered. I've never tied a quilt before and my elderly aunt has only done one 30+ yrs. ago. She insisted on two strands of sport weight yarn. The batt requires 4" quilting and the stripe repeat of the fabric just happens to be 4.25". So the yarn is sewn in a 4.25 grid. I'm snipping those in half to do the ties. I've got about half of the ties done, but am not sure if they should be trimmed back. How long do you leave your tied ends? Here's a pic of the progress
