Default Durable thread?

I have a question for all: What is the most durable thread for the long term? I'm planning to make a cathedral window as a coverlet, using a tutorial I found at
http://april-makingendsmeet.blogspot...-tutorial.html, but it'll be thread and thread alone holding the blocks together. I grew up making clothes out of C&C, and the thread invariably broke before the fabric wore out, so I know it'll have to be a poly thread. I applique with Invisafil, which I absolutely love, but it's not strong enough for this project. I'll use C&C (since I have it) or Gutermann (since I also have that) up to the point when I put blocks together, but what then? Advice, anyone?
