I made 5 quilts out of double knit, Cut them in 7"sq and used corduray for backing with polester quilt batts. I made them back in the 70's when we had a trailer. Those things have held up like iron. My 2 boys used them all the way thru college in the dorm and now their kids use them for tents or to wrap in if the are cold. They will never wear out. My dil love them also if they take them to football games etc. Make quilts with the haul you are getting and they will last longer then you. I am serious. I will leaved this planet before they do. LOL!!!!
