Many years ago I read about "carm tacking" in a Quiltmaker. You machine stitch a small simple design where you would have tacked. They put a collection of cute baby designs in the issue. Though I've never tried that, it would be fun to try on the GDs quilts.

think that the soft/warmness of this quilt is because it still has loft and comfort and has not been quiilted to death making a type of flat mat rather than comfy quilt.
do like tying ,looks good and also homespun which is my favourite type of quilt.

My son likes quilts thick & heavy like store bought ones. He asked me to make him one like that out of flannel when he was in college so I used a double layer of high loft batting- you better believe I tied that one!
