Blanket stitch applique as quilting?
I am making 2 crib quilts for my niece who just had twins. She has asked for polka dots. My plan is to make a bunch of circles in different sizes and fabrics, then fuse and applique them onto white Kona.
If I sandwiched the Kona and the backing, then appliqued the circles with a blanket stitch- would that work properly? I have done the applique first, then quilted, but not used the blanket stitch as a quilting stitch. Any opinions?
