I recently finished a tumbling block quilt top and I wanted to put it all together myself. Course the cost of $200.00 does come into issue. Anywaty, what are some ideas on tieing the quilt together? Do I finish it completely, with binding, before or after tieing? Thanks in advance.

I just finished 2 for DD's. Tie first. I used crochet thread (the kind on the balls used for tablecloths, etc.) Worked great on 2 flannel quilts. Be sure and check batting for maximum distance between stitches.

Tie first....and I've used yarn to tie one that's still going strong after 30 yrs!!!! And if I remember right, I tied it in rows from the top corner....may not be the way everyone recommends, but it worked.
