Default More questions about tying a quilt

I made a quilt top a couple of years ago that I was not too fond of. I loved the fabric, but, ultimately, I didn't like the pattern. It cost more than I was willing to pay to have it quilted and it was too large for my domestic machine, so it's in the top of the closet.

After reading railroadersbrat's post, I thought that maybe tying could be the answer. Is there a way to tie the quilt so it all those ends of "yarn" (or whatever) don't stick out. (I don't care for the look of a tied quilt, with all those strings sticking up.

The pattern is Quartered Stripes. The finished size of the block is 8 1/2. I don't have a photo of the finished top, but have photos of the blocks. At the suggestion of a friend, I sashed with 2" white sashing to break up the blue, but it didn't help my dislike. Still, if it were finished (for less than $200.), I could give it away, or something.
