I made a baby quilt out of polyester way back when for her and hand quilted for a grand daughter when she was a baby and her late middle 20's and she still has it but I've repaired it so many times the darn thing is practically all machine stitching but she won't give it up. Never did it again. I always used cotton but teacher in the class I took said it's just for a baby so use polyester. Live and learn.
