I have never done tying but after reading all these replies l have just the quilt to do this on for a first time, a king size disappearing nine patch scrappy. I was going to do an enlarged zigzag instead across the ditch in multi coloured thread which l have done before and looks very nice and also cover's a multitude of sins as some time my joins are not the best but tying sound easier doing it by hand.
