    Not a tie person. I think it would look more classy quilted.

    I vote for birth and quilt it. I also liked the suggestion someone made to double stitch the edges and snip them like making a rag quilt. But definitely no ties in a baby quilt.

    Tieing it would be pretty.

    It's a really pretty quilt. Since I've used fleece in some of the baby quilts I've made, I would say birth it and SID or tie it. We haven't had a problem when we tied them. Sometimes the baby likes the different texture of the ties. (My DGD soothed herself touching the ties when she drank her bottle or as she was going to sleep.

    It's flipping the quilt inside out, sometimes called enveloping or pillowcasing. I made a tut if you still don't understand. I know a few people were confused
