I have a quilt like this -- the pattern is even similar -- made by my grandma and a bunch of her friends for a raffle. It has a wool army blanket for batting and flannel on the back. It was made in the late 1950's -- and it was tied. It is in wonderful shape and has held up really well. Grandma won the quilt in the raffle and now I have it -- most of the ties came from my dad so it has wonderful memories. My only suggestion is to not use a heavy bat (the quilt weighs a ton!!).

We have decided to tie it and I have it about half way done. It is looking good, I think. Will post a picture when I get it finished. thanks for all your input. It really helped me weigh the pros and cons and decide what to do!
