Hi alimaui....everyone has their own way of doing things. in our area... we do not hand tie baby quilts because of the danger of them pulling out the tie & swallowing it, however some people do use their machine to make a fancy of zig zag tie stitch.

I tie off all my baby quilts with
6-strand embroidery floss.
Heres an idea for you .....
Instead of plain green see if you
can find one of the " green varigated" colors;
as they are rather pretty.

I have only tied one quilt. It was a king size made from 4in blocks from my stash. I put it in my floor frame just like I was going to hand quilt it and then placed a tie in the middle of each block. I used varigated thread since there was so many colors in the quilt. I enjoy hand quilting, but liked the old fashioned look for this quilt. [img]
