I feel the same way when I see family photos in an antique store. And..poly isn't warm, that is why I always use plain old, common, cotton.

I've still got it and although my quilting has come along way since those days, it reminds me of my journey and it is still a reminder of favourite dresses of years gone by.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080558446789769020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-37688973575816240132011-06-13T20:29:49.243-05:002011-06-13T20:29:49.243-05:00thats a great quilt. it reminds me so much of gra...thats a great quilt. it reminds me so much of grandmas quilts! thank goodness you saved it from a possible catastrophe, like some mans garage rag.Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373518892606928777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-16932803227806458592011-06-13T18:17:11.586-05:002011-06-13T18:17:11.586-05:00I always feel so sorry for the "artists"...I always feel so sorry for the "artists" whose creations are just tossed aside as well.

It breaks my heart to see priceless handmade tatting, quilting, or other fiber arts not appreciated.

It has a cotton backing which definately helps hold in the heat.<br /><br />Thank you for reminding that I have it stowed away somewhere.
