I will be putting a back on my quilt and then will be tying it with probably a perl cotton using a surgeons knot. I am also planning on putting a binding on it.
I also put a backing and another layer of batting on mine with a ruffle and binding. I really wanted something thick and luxurious since it was a baby quilt and the extra batting was perfect for that. I didn't quilt it, but tied it between each square with embroidery floss (the thick, one strand kind and not the six strand kind).
