I think someone posted a pic of a quilt kinda like that yesterday. There were small blocks with satin stitching around them throughout the quilt. She told me they were the "ties". It was really really pretty!

Don't know why it wouldn't work,
Keep in mind part of the reason for tying is the dificulty of handling all the fabric in the machine, and keeping the top and bottom stretched at the same time, for a consistant top and botton, can get pulled one way or the other going under the foot, then it may lay funny.
Have to ask, how are kids going to get hurt with a tye?

If you don't tie the tie down well enough, it could come loose and become a choking hazard. 'Course, same could be said of loose threads.
I'm a nanny and have one client who won't even give her toddler stuffed animals with buttons, 'cause if they come loose, he could choke. Personally, I think that's worrying too much.

If you tie a quilt and tie the ties TIGHTLY three times they won't come untied. Also trim the strings down to about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch and they aren't long enough to get choked on. Quilts have been being tied for hundreds of years with no problems. However, you can machine tie if you want, it's just another form of quilting.
