I love double knit quilts!!! Only problem is my sons likes them too and when they moved out over the years, they took them with them. They are just super warm. I didn't make them. A dear lady made them years ago. I still manage to keep two of them for me. I was lucky to find a KING size, dk quilt for $50. I snapped that up in a heart beat! My DH thought I was nuts because it is sooooooooooo heavy, but I love it! So yes I am a fan of double knit and never turn it down when it is offered. I plan to make some lap quilts for the nursing home this year. They make great dog beds. Also, wonderful clothes line bags. They are wear like iron!!!
