My mother-n-love made quilts out of polyester like that. I have one I have used for 30+ years. They wear like iron. Doesn't fade, doesn't show any wear. I'm in Texas, but when we refuse to turn the heat on, it sure makes a nice cover. What it reminds me of, is not bell bottom pants, but leisure suits. Oh those were so not the fashion statement.

I think the yellow ones and the red ones were mine! My grandma sewed me lots of polyester pant suits...bell bottom elastic waisted pants with a matching top. I was such a dork!

That looks like my Aunt's closet. :shock:

That woman had every color imaginable in polyester. With handbags, shoes and jewels to match.
