How much is too much
#1
Can you put too many ties in a quilt? I'm making a baby quilt and it has orange in it so i'm tying it off with orange yarn. I haven't tied one before and i was told i was going overboard. I need your input. ty

How big are your blocks?
It does look like a lot of ties, but with it being a baby quilt, I think a lot of ties would be helpful.
Prob. what I would do though is cut them off shorter so there is "less" visualization of the ties. Shorter ties tend to blend in more.
Just my 2 cents worth...HTH.
