Should Knot Be Seen?

So…I need some helpful tips!

I’ve been working on a small quilt and decided to be brave and quilt it myself.

Because the quilt front has several large pieces of contrasting solid colors, I’ve had to change out the top thread color of my machine several times.  I used a needle to bring all the top threads to the back of the quilt.  Here are a few examples.

 

 

I tied the loose threads in neat little knots and snipped the thread close to the knot.  Now I have lots of knots that look something like this: 

The knots got fuzzy from the quilt being flipped from front to back while I tied off all the loose threads.

Should knot(s) be seen?  Are there haves and have knots?  How do you deal with the knots in your quilting life?
