This is a comment regarding double knits for quilts. My mother, who is now deceased made a qu ilt from double knit squares and used flannel for the back. This was for my daughter, who decided when she first saw it that it was the ugliest quilt she had ever seen. She stuck it away where she wouldn't have to look at it until a sick child needed a warm cover. Out came the ugly quilt. "Oh, that feels food", said the child as she snuggled into it. The ugliest quilt ever seen soon became their favorite for snuggling on cold winter evenings, throwing on the floor for visiting babies, picnics on the yard, sunbathing teens, throwing over the car seat when transporting the dog to the vet, etc. It was no long the ugliest quilt ever seen. It was now Grandma Mary's quilt and everyone's favorite..
