Our quilting group ties quilt for charity. We gave 9 quilts last week. Our record for one week is 18 quilts. Mostly for people who had home fires. As we age time often interfers with what we are able to do. So sometimes thats what we have to do. We still quilt about one per year by hand for our members. Marvel

Tied quilts look so cosy. I am making a flannel baby quilt for my dentist who is going to be a dad for the first time and I am going to use thick, fluffy batting and tie it off. I think it will be adorable - just right for a baby.

I only tie comforters, for me personally I don't care for the tied, I love FMQing quilts and about all I do.
Tie off quilts if that is what you want to do, no right or wrong way to do things here.
