The only quilts that I have tied have been for little girls and I used very narrow ribbon which I double knotted, then tied in a small bow. It really added an extra feminine touch and they loved them. I spaced the bows so that they would enhance the pattern of the quilt...either in the center of a block or at the intersection of corners of blocks or block sections.

Thanks for asking this question.I'd like to tie a sofa throw,because it'll be used a lot & also because of LA cost.
What kind of tie/knot is best? I also love the ribbon ties idea for a girls quilt.Thanks all for sharing.

I think that because there is so much color to it, and so many seams, I would like to tie it. It is for my studio couch. I tied one quilt with embroidery floss, but know some people use yarn, cotton perle, other? What do you like to use? Thanks.
