I'm not sure that I understand your question, but here goes:
To tie a quilt with any ribbon will require a needle with a very large eye. The side you want the ends to show on will be up. Put your needle down through the quilt, then up again less then 1/2" away, then down again through the first hole, then up again. Cut the two ends to the length you want, then tie them. This thread describes the surgeon's knot, which I have not used before, but sounds great.
If you want the look of ties with ribbon but not to actually tie with ribbon, you can sew the ribbon pieces to the quilt securely by hand or machine, then tie the ends as you wish.
Hope this helps.
