I agree with GingerK. Too much time and fabric wasted when the quilt begins to come unstitched from use or washing. Most folks don't know how to wash quilts and they can stress out the straight stitch along the edge. They either wash them too often or never! I might try it with a really close zig-zag so it looks almost like a satin stitch. Have you considered giving it a try on a pillow nor table runner then make a decision about a whole quilt?
