I just made a basic simple quilt for my daughter
(sandwiched batting between top panel and bottom panel and sewed together)
I'm looking for ideas to "finish" it.
I don't care for yarn ties, but it needs something to hold it all together so it doesn't separate & billow out.

She's 3, and the blanket/quilt is My Little Pony print.

You can machine or hand stitch around some of the designs on the quilt. Pick the larger pictures on the material and do an outline stitch. It's not that hard if you do it on the sewing machine. Just lay fabric flat, to prevent batting from slipping, and pin around one picture at a time. It is really pretty once you have several ponies done. You may even decide to do a few extra designs. Good luck.

I would suggest a simple grid quilting design. make sure you check the batting to see how far apart the quilting can be. most recommend not more than 2 to 3 inches apart. this would be easy to do on your machine, it will be easier if you use a walking foot to feed it evenly so it wont bunch up while you quilt it. good luck and have fun.

Iwas going to suggest buttons, but she is too young. how about a button stitch? Just circles quilted on quilt.
