I saw a grandmothers garden quilt top done with those fabrics just yesterday..It was lovely..I touched the top it wasn't quilted yet..very stretchy so would be hard to motivate but it looked lovely to me

Put it on craigs list.......

Was at a quilt show in Jacksonville, IL yesterday and there was a polyester quilt in the show. It was white background with red and black applique (all polyester!) Don't remember the pattern exactly but it had lots of leaf shapes on it. My first thought was how heavy it must be, it was at least a full size! I remember my sister got one grandma made her back in the 70's and I believe she still has it. Doesn't seem to age at all :)

These make great missions/charity quilts. Our church used the polyester clothing and leftovers from stashes from that era. We matched the fabrics as best we could, cut the blocks, some got fancy and made triangles and sewed them together. We did the all day with potluck at noon. There is a shop in Oklee, MN called Oklee Quilting Supply and they sell polyester batting by the bolt called missions batting that is very reasonably priced. It was great for this and I do know of people who use this for their personal quilting. I never used it for that but it was good stuff. We tied those quilts. We gave one to each graduate in the church and the rest went to charity. PS: If you are from MN you understand and appreciate the potlucks. Where I live now they can't seem to get their mind around "and you had a potluck for what and when?"

If you don't want it , why not put it up for sale or give away here on the QB? Some one might also want to trade for other items, books, patterns or tools.

peace

I would probly use it for backing, in place of batting, or donate it.

Amen, Amen, Amen! G

My DH's aunt had given me several boxes with double knit fabric a few years ago, but I knew I'd never use it (no time!), so I donated it to our church. If I'd kept it, I would've made double-sided quilts from it.

I would contact a group that collects material for making quilts for Vetrans hospital or children hospital. Most states have chapters that just collect the fabric and sew with what ever they get into lap blankets. Warm babies warm hearts in Coloroado makes layes, etc from this and all is volunteer and on donation basis. Contact your local sewing store like Joanns they can tell you some groups that would love the fabric

Tear it in strips and make rugs.
