My Mother made a beautiful lap quilt out poly double knits. She made
a crazy quilt & then hand embroidered lovely colorful stitches between
each block. I keep it in the car to use for picnics, or whatever. It is very special to me because of the hand embroidering. Wish I could show you a close-up picture of it, but no camera. Sorry.
