I tied a small quilt some years ago, i used three ply of DMC thread,just go into the flannel and up , leaving enough thread has you go into it and then up ,tie the two ends , in a double knot., i would leave a couple of inches, you could use some different colors , to add color to the quilt, [or whats the word, verigated], does this make sense ?

Thank you all, I will tie it that seems the quickest way.

Here is another option:

You can easily do "big stitch" quilting with Perle cotton crochet thread
(any color to match your fabric), and just use needle large enough for
thread to go through the eye. In stitching you can do whatever is
comfortable ... a sort of running/basting like stitch about 1/8-1/4" apart.
This looks great on homespun quilts.
And as you improve on your stitches, you are soon able to hand-quilt
with small, consistent stitches for your future projects.
Just Google "big stitch quilting" for excellent instructions!
