Default Quilting thread broke after quilt was done.

HELP!!!
I finally finished my son's D9P and quilted it on my sewing machine- just straight stitched diagonally. Then put on the binding and hand stitched it done using a ladder stitch. Washed it using color catchers. Dried it and the thread that I had used to quilt it and hand stitch the binding down broke. It broke in the middle of the diagonals and on the binding.

What did I do wrong? It was machine quilting thread at a larger stitch length and larger needle. I can't fix this quilt but would like to know what to do for the next one.

I did stitch around the outside of the quilt to prevent the entire binding from coming off.

Thanks in advance.
