I still have two quilts from when my grandmother made hers while a mid-age mother and I'm 65 now, and it's in great shape, however...I don't use it but maybe twice when it's freezing due to it heavy weight. I'm afraid to wash it and will have to take to an large laundrymat to do it. But others that I've made in last few years have held up great, maybe a little faded and softer but it's loved by user!
