    I love blanket stitching and usually use it on 30's fabrics so they look like my grandma's quilts (she used only black)....but if I were going to use it for quilting, embroidery floss might not hold up too well and quilting thread sounds too fine...I like the suggestion of perle cotton. I'd probably use a contrasting color (or colors) to show off the stitching.
