Very neat idea. The same stitch is shown in Erica Wilson's Embroidery Book (1973) as the Fly Stitch.

I really like this idea, have never tied a quilt because I dont like leaving threads, but this gives the speed of tying with the neatness of quilting. will definately give this a try. Thankyou so much for sharing this Sara

{{{{{{{boing!}}}}}}}} A-ha ! "lightbulb" I think I've got it. The clincher for me is "like the daisy stitch." Still not sure about the thread.

I like knit crosheen the best. But I have also used baby yarn on a baby quilt. I heard of a lady that used embroidery floss, but I can imagine the tangles mess I'd end up with. Knit crosheen comes in a wide variety of colors.
