There was only one quilt which told me to tie it… it was made of 1" squares (finished) and the theme was Monet's Garden. I couldn't "see" where to put any quilt lines that wouldn't take away from the (finally, after 3 years of working on it) design. My arthritis doesn't allow me to tie knots, so DH did it for me! I used floss and matched the color of each knot to the design color at that particular spot and he did the tying. It was the only "perfect way to quilt it.
