When my DH and I married 30+ years ago, my DMIL gave us a polyester quilt we nicknamed the Chastity Quilt. The thing was so heavy and so hot that there was no cuddling allowed before you became a pool of sweat in the bed. We each slept on our side of the bed as far away from the other as possible. But, it was really nice and warm. Over the years, with much washing from lots of use, it has become more pliable and lots softer. My DH and I laugh about this quilt, but it still is one of the most used quilts in our home. Oh, the quilt still looks new, the colors are still vibrant and the fabric still has its patterns. The quilt has lasted forever. Kinda scary!

My DMIL has since passed, but whenever we look at the quilt, my DH and I give each other our secret smiles, shake our heads and think lovingly of his dear mother's wedding present to us.
