Sounds like you want something that will hold up to hard wear without
much work and it doesn't quite work that way. I'd suggest a medium
loft polyester batting and machine tack every 4-5 inches apart. If
you really love the tied look you can add ties wherever you wish, or
run the tieing cord under the machine tacking threads.

You are so right! No ... I don't love the tied look. I just want to finish
the quilt quickly. Machine tacking is a great idea. Thank you!
