To tie or not to tie?
#11
I'm a third generation baby quilt tie-er--never had the least bit of problems. Tie knot three times (tie once, again to form a knot, then once again to be safe) and tie pull it hard. Make your yarn stitches small, no more than a quarter inch, tie it tight, then trim the tails down to between 1/2 and 1".

Four kids, five grands, and the only time I have ever had that happen, it was from a thread inside a pair of sleepers that were store bought. When I tie quilts, I knot them tight and trim the ends to about 3/4 inch. If you are concerned with getting thread wrapped around little fingers or toes, cut the thread ends to 1/4 inch.

I think it is your quilt and if you want to tie it, tie it!! The floss would not go anyplace if it is tied tight enough. My DGM always tied hers and I still have one that has to be 60 years old. Ties are still there.

Here are pictures of the finnished quilt. I ended up stipling around the crosses. The new mommy and baby boy love the quilt. It is now washed and used and has a snugly wrinkled/puckered appearance.
