I know this might sound funny, but I *HATE* the feeling of yarn..it give me the hibbe jibbies. I have had this aversion since i was a child. It is a great idea to use yarn...if i could actually touch it lol =)
Just a caution- Don't use cheap polyester yarn on a cotton quilt. I made that mistake one time, and it cut itself through the backing fabric in the laundry. AAARG!
