The thing is I dont like the polyester after a few years of frequent washings. My mothers quilts that I use all the time and I mean all the time have started to pull apart on the inside and bunch up and they looked great at one time but now very disappointing. They wont last more than 20 years at the rate they are going. These quilts were hand quilted by an amish group in Lancaster PA that my mother belonged to and the handquilting has lasted but the batting hasnt. Also the backing is getting very thin. I am going to Lancaster next week and plan to take one to be fixed by them, I have replaced a small part of the top but will ask them to finish quilting it so that it looks like originally did. Hopefully this will make it last much much longer. I was hoping there was a more lofty batting out there to replace it as I was very disappointed with warm and natural. But I guess all cotton batting is thin?
