I believe that all of us must have someone in our family who loved double knits! I have several quilts made by my MIL, all are tied and she used mostly sheets for backing. They all are full size, remember in the 70's we did not see many queen or king beds. I love them, use them all the time and could not even begin to guess how many times they have been washed. Still look as good as they did when I got them.
