Then when you are putting on the binding it makes it much easier, your layers stay together and don't bunch in places. Happy tieing!!
It does look pretty and interesting when they are tied. As I said at the beginning I didn't even know it could be done. So I will definitively try it with tieing on the girly quilt I'm just making, the pattern (pinwheels) seem to be just right. It's done with all sort of scraps, I wonder how it will turn out at the end, I will post a pictures.
