Right now that quilt, a little worse for wear is in the big chair in the rec room and is still used every day. Poly/cotton really does wear well!
The first quilts I made some 45 years ago were poly cotton, have been laundered 100's of times, and still look like new except for where they are getting a little threadbare from use.
Poly cotton does wear well and it feels good to the touch!
