One of my sons likes tied quilts the best. They are nice and fluffy. I think it's a great way to finish a quilt and have done several that way :D
|
I tie for my charity quilts, I just did 5 of them and now time to serge.
|
Would some of you post pics of your tied quilts? I'd love to see them!

we some times tie off lap quilts for nursing home

Some quilts just look better IMHO tied, all of Gramas scrap quilts were so it might be the memories that prejudice me :D:D:D
|
I tie off the quilts I have made and am currently tying off one for GD.
|
I tied off a few of my first quilts. I like the old fashioned look of them. But lately I have prefered free motion quilting.
|
I helped my guild tie one quilt, and it was a back breaking experience. The quilt was set up on a frame, and we had to lean across it. Is that the way it's usually done?
I agree that there's a place for tied quilts (high loft batting, personal preference, etc.) but do they hold up as well as quilted ones? |
I have tied flannel quilts and a couple of others that are cotton. As long as you tie them fairly close and with the new battings they hold up very well.

Several years ago a client asked me to renew one side of a counterpane that his grandmother had made, and she had tied it instead of "quilting" it. Just wondering if anyone still does that!
