Should I use quilting thread to sew the seams as well as the final quilting of the top? I was thinking that it will make the quilt stronger and last longer. Has anyone done this?

Quilting thread is usually thicker than piecing thread.
If you use it for piecing, your seams may end up wider than 1/4" :D:D:D
