Not that I didn’t try synthetics, who could resist when all those fleece blankets came out that were so cheap and colorful.\u00a0 But when it came down to it, my kids didn’t even like them all that much, especially the hot blooded one who wound up sweating in a blanket that didn’t “breathe”.\u00a0 Now the new “minky” fabrics are the big hit, blech!\u00a0 Polyester!\u00a0 What could be worse?!<\/p>\n

So it’s all cotton for me, nothing like wrapping up in a quilt that has gotten softer with each wash and feels so great against\u00a0my skin.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t this look inviting?<\/p>\n
