This is the way I've made knots, too, for years when doing regular sewing. But it is different from a quilter's knot. I've mastered the quilter's knot and then forget how to do it if I haven't handquilted for some time. It's easy to go back to old habits learned young and that's when I resort to the other way of making a knot.
