I am part of church quilting group and to keep production going we tie all of our quilts. It is a lot of fun to pick a color that goes with the quilt and enhances an often very scrappy looking quilt.

Some quilts just beg to be tied. I tried hand quilting, machine quilting, and the only thing that looked OK on one quilt was tying. You did the work, it is your creation, it is up to you how it completes itself!

I just feel inadequate about sewing them and i can't afford to have them quilted. So please give me some feedback......I will post pics soon..

Here are the pics finally. Thanks for being patient
