I recently discovered crochet rag rugs and have been kicking myself up and down the road because I gave away the heavy double knits that were in my stash. BTW, I made and hand quilted (don't do it!) a red, white and blue rolling star quilt in '76 for the Bicentennial. It doesn't look traditional but it looks good. I think most of the trouble with the poly double knit quilts and comforters was and is color. Quilters made lots of comforters locally from sewing factory scraps which were insanely cheap. They were mainly just squares put together hit-or-miss and mostly they were a MISS. But it was the 1960-70s and the colors were often garish. (See the pinks in the picture.)
