I have 3 made of the poly knits--2 were made by my MIL before the died. Both were backed with sheets, tied and fairly
light. I also have one that I paid $1 for at a garage, King size--4" squares on both sides AND quilted. That one is soooo heavy. We do use it on our beds in the winter but we also like to camp in the fall. The Mountains in Wy are pretty cold that time of the year, so it's terrific for that! All 5 of our kids, their spouses and g-kids camp so I have been toying with the idea of "camping quilts" made of the poly.

I belong to a group that makes lap robes for the nursing homes. I have also made shawls with it. Just cut out a large square, fold in half and fringe the ends. Remember, many people in nursing homes never get gifts of any kind. I suggest you place an add on craigslist (it won't cost anything) and give it to group who will put it to good use. It is getting harder and harder for our group to find it. Wish I lived close to you!
