As a child my Grandma made quilts from my Grandpa's old clothes and the used suits his brothers gave him. I'm sure she put them in the boiling water to cleanse them because she was a washing nut about clothes. Everyone then was afraid of bedbugs so boiled every piece of clothing they could to avoid them. They would be washed every year or so when summer came and they had to be put away in cedar chests.
The quilts were tight and warm, I slept under them and sure wish I had one now for camping. Might start hunting for some wool in yard sales, with summer here folks are cleaning out winter closets.
