Have you thought about tying the quilt and not quilt.
WOW Dottie! You and Gayle have suggested the same thing about the binding...both of you are BRILLIANT! Of course this suggestion will make it much easier and makes total sense!

About tying which has also been suggested would you bring the ties to the front? it is Warm and Natural batting which if memory serves needs to be quilted every 8 or 10 inches would I tie about the same distance as the batting suggests for quilting? Also what would I use for the tying I know people used to use knitting yarn but it frays and mats doesn't it?

Thanks for taking the time to 'help' me with this. Now how about coming on over and showing me in person! LOL
