Mrs. Hale says this about Mrs. Wright’s unfinished quilt, “I consider if she was goin’ to quilt it or just knot it?” What clue does this statement offer?

Quilting and knotting are two different ways to put quilt tops with the bottoms and the quilting material. If she was "knotting" it, maybe that would be a clue that she was going to "knot" a rope to kill Mr. Wright. This could be a clue to how she was feeling.
