My first quilt, made 20-22 years ago, has been used and abused in our family room. It's been washed at least 50 times, probably more. It's a log cabin and was made following Eleanor Burns QiaD method - thus intersecting seams are swirled, but they are not clipped in any way.
At intersections, you are rolling the top seam intersection away from the bottom seam intersection and pressing. There's no clipping. Clothing is stressed in a completely different way than quilts are, with pulling against joined seams occurring as a result of normal wear.
My quilt was made using W&N batting and was tied rather than quilted. Not one open seam yet, knock on wood.
