Gives me an idea. I have a king size bed skirt with matching shams that I bought at the Rescue Mission Thrift Store a few years ago. I didn't have a king size bed, but knew there would be a use for it someday.

Thanks for posting.
you should get a lot of fabric from the bed skirt and shams once you cut it off the white top of the skirt. Not long ago you posted a photo of a polyester quilt I think you said your mom made. Well, recently I visited a quilting friend and her husband brought out a polyester quilt she had made for him many, many years ago and it looks much like the one your mom made. He uses it still and is very proud of that quilt. Now she can afford any fabric she wants, but way back when she used what she had. It really doesn't matter what a quilt is made from when the one that receives it loves it.
