Any one of those would be fine. What ever works for you, and what ever look you are going for. I actually tied mine! I don't do well with machine quilting, and sending out can be spendy. I used to hand quilt all my quilts, but Ole Arthur Itis has come visiting, so tying works better for me. I use embrodery floss, and use a color that matches each hex. What ever you do, I know it will be beautiful.
