So tying is allowed on a child quilt cause i wouldnt mind doing that i just dont quilt very good yet and would be embarrased to send one that i have quilted. The one I did last year for my granddaughter i SID and it wasnt perfect but it was ok. I hand embroidered six blocks sashed them and then added two borders and then quilted it. I also made her a matching doll quilt and pillows and she loved it cause grammy made it but these wouldnt be my grandchildren.
