Thank you for sharing this information. My mother-in-law made quilts for my kids years ago and they are still functioning. Consequently they seem to think if it is not tied it is not a quilt. lol I use the crochet thread but will try the yarn on my next quilt.
My ties are tough as nails..I have another I made years ago, plus made one for each of my kids. They are all still in use and holding up well. Some people like to use crochet thread, but I use worsted yarn...here's a funny..as taught by two nice ladies in a historical museum on Ocracoke, Outer Banks, NC. They advised going trough twice with needle and yarn, then tying a double knot.

Finished another big project. This flannel comforter is made mostly from Maywood flannels. The center panel was just too pretty to cut into pieces, so I used coordinating fabric for the squares. I had bought one piece of fabric two years ago in Renfro Valley, just because I loved it. Looks like brocade but is flannel. Thought it worked well with the Maywood stuff. This one stays with me. Everything else I finished this winter will be leaving, this is for our camper.
