If you decide you really want to tie your quilt it is not that it is easier it is just a differnt look. I would work so there is a tie in every hexagon and the ties would show on the back so as no to distract from the beautiful pattern you made. When you have that many ties it is referred to as tuffting and will give the back a very unique look. Another thing to know is that the more ties you use the longer your quilt will last.
