Yes, my Mom made a quilt out of some of our old dresses (that she had also made). The entire top is polyester and thickly quilted. It is very heavy but also very warm. Looking at that quilt takes me back to the days when I wished I could wear more "store bought" dresses like my friends. :wink:
I wish I knew where my grandmothers quilts ended up. When I was a young child I remember being put to bed at my grandparents house on a feather mattress and my grandmother would pile so many quilts on top of me I would't move all night. Best sleep ever. :-D Good times! Precious memories!
