OMG! Me, too! I did a Mickey Mouse fabric kid quilt and am still unsewing the FMQ! I'll definitely tie this one although I don't particularly enjoy it. BTW, I have an antique quilt that was tied with wool yarn and every tie shrunk up into a little ball! My 15-year old friend thinks its really cute.
:D
