I'm glad to hear that you've decided to continue with 100% cotton.. I have a special quilt made for me by my grandmother for my high school graduation. I have used it, but washed gently and cared for it. It is one of the few quilts she made of blended fabric and it is falling to pieces!! the poly cotton blends are just shattering! Makes me sad and I have quit using it. I have other quilts that she and my great grandmother made of 100% cotton, that are in great shape!! You can't beat pure cotton!
