I also have two quilts made by a great aunt in the 1970s after she became old and senile. They are made out of scraps of old polyester clothing that was popular in the early 70s. The workmanship isn’t real good. She had arthritis and hand tremors by then. She gave them to her sister-in-law(my grandmother) when her own children would not take them. My grandmother used them for a few years and then gave them to me when her own children wouldn’t take them. They are quite ugly but they are very warm. I’ve used them every winter for the last 10-15 years.

Good....I’m glad you’re using them!!!!

Now...if I could get out of this So.Cal. climate and get to cold weather...I’d sure have use for these...

I've got a couple of quilts another of my mother's sisters gave me and my brother back in the '70's. She had had them made and they are partly made of polyester with a butterfly pattern.

Really, really ugly.

I'm keeping them anyway.
