This is the stitch that I was thinking about but did not know the name of it. I will be doing one dolly quilt size as my example quilt ad then take that so they can look at all of the different types of finishings but this is the one that I will prefer.
I should have said that I hate using yarn on quilts for the very reasons mentioned above. I know Momma used crochet thread but I don't know if she used this stitched. Mostly had the family come to the "quilting bee" and the kids played under the quilt making it our fort roof.
