I have 2 double knit polyester quilts both have low loft batting and are tied, Grandma used good quality cotton sheets for the backing, these quilts have been very well used, taken on pick nicks, camping, on beds, used to make tents, you name it they have ben involved, one was even hauled out to the barn when my daughter's horse had the colic, she said it made him feel loved LOL, all bright colors, now my grand's are asking for some like them for there homes.
