When my Granny died I got one polyester quilt top and two cotton ones. Granny didn't make them but she bought them from a lady that lived near her so the woman could have money for food. That being said, I finished the polyester top for my Neil for his birthday with my hand in a cast to my elbow. I used a twill cotton for the backing. Then I used a heavy cotton quilting thread and did the hand quilting X in each corner of the quilt. (Not across the whole block because it's a stretch fabric.) But each junction corner. It's held up to laundering, it's warm, and he's still using it on his bed. I didn't use a binding, I did the envelope method of closing it in after I got all the quilting done. He loves the quilt because it came from me and his great granny. He won't even let his nephews and neices use it when they come to visit. :?
Hugs
ps: I would show you a picture but he's wrapped up tightly in it with our temperatures in the 20s. :lol: :lol:
