I have tied several baby quilts and 1 throw size. I prefer to use perle cotton crochet thread to tie them. All are for drag around the house/yard quilts. I remember my oldest son spending hours trying to grab the ties on an old, old baby quilt before he could crawl so I think it gives an added brain boost to baby quilts & the ties have held up as well as, if not better than some of the cheaper machine quilting threads. I know that old baby quilt my son laid on was at least 20 years old and has seen lots more babies since.
