Here is a thread started from Mrsnussbaum back on 8/7/2020 who wanted to tie a crazy quilt instead of quilting it. In reply #3, Iceblossom came up with a great idea as to how to bury the ends of a tied quilt between the top & bottom layer. I think this would look good on a quilt if you don't like the idea of loose ends from the ties showing and you want to tie it instead of quilting it. Just another suggestion to consider.
