That would probably work great. But you will also have to do a few of them in the large open spaces of the quilt. Your batting will tell you how close tacks (or ties) need to be. If you go this route then I would go with a high loft batting like Fatt Batt by mountain mist. You can order on line from Walmart and pick up at your local walmart store. this is the batting I have used on tied quilts and it is very lofty and cuddly.
