    This is one of my very first quilts. Didn't have a pattern, just copied from a picture in a magazine (don't even think it was a quilting magazine). If I remember correctly, this is all poly/cotton fabric and has a fat batting. In those days, I wanted a quilt to be "puffy" like a comforter. The quilt still lives on a sailboat, sailing around the world. I'm assuming the polyester makes it extremely warm.
