I find it disappointing that most shows do not allow tied quilts to be entered. So many of our antique quilts were tied. It is a tradition that is being lost.

Love everything! I haven't tied a quilt before but always wanted too, just didn't know how. I did see a girl demonstrate it one time. At least I found out there's a special curved needle to use.

My Mom did also. I like the look of quilted quilts but I also lie the looks of tied quilts also. It is encouraging to see that someone else ties quilts at times. I also like the idea of pinning the quilt to the carpet but I would just pin it as my knees and back would not take the time it would take to tie it. Thanks for sharing!

I still feel like there's nothing prettier than a hand quilted quilt... but for utilitarian purposes, what could beat simple machine quilting, or, especially when using lofty batting, ties? A quilt, or comforter, no matter how it's made, is still made and given with love;). One of my favorite old quilts is a wool quilt (comforter) tied with wool yarn, made by my Grandma from scraps of family clothing, and given to her son. Anyway on a different note, I agree with so many other commenters... your eclipse block looks fine!

I prefer machine stitching them. Hand quilting is the ultimate, but I can't do that any more. I like your Eclipse block and couldn't see anything wrong with it either. I really like the blocks of your Mom's tied quilt - especially the different sizes of squares in the blocks. Good idea! I bought a shelf unit about the same size as yours at a garage sale and it fits in a very small space next to my clothes dryer. i have decided to get some baskets to hold the items on the shelves because there aren't any sides or back to keep things from falling off, which they do sometimes.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-57040583293977030952017-10-30T23:28:13.305-06:002017-10-30T23:28:13.305-06:00I always love your posts, getting to see all the f...I always love your posts, getting to see all the fun stuff you accomplish with your busy, busy life!!

I used to have keys to the church and would go use one of the tables to pin-baste my quilts. I think it would work perfectly for tying them too - just tape the edges instead of pin them. Much easier on the knees and back! LOL I like the new shelving unit you found.
