I have a double-knit polyester that someone gave me over 45 years ago and it has gone around the world, been in tents in the desert, been pulled behind a car on a mountain top, and wallowed in a mud puddle by kids - and my granddaughters still use it to picnic on in the back yard. Those things are truly indestructible.
Go for it, David. Funkiness rules!
I will say, for not having batting, this quilt I have from polyester is the warmest of all the quilts I own!
I have made several polyester quilts. They are wonderful for the beach, sand just slides right off. Great for car quilts if you keep the out of the sun. Wonderful for motorhomes and camping. They are heavy but very warm. All our family loves them as much as jean quilts.
I've made several quilts from double knit for t shirts as well a polyester that one made slacks and dresses out of in the 70's and early 80's. I kept them simple -- squares sewed together in a pleasing pattern. They are the quilts for the camper and bed and will probably never wear out. I used flannel for the backing and tied them. My mom grew up in the 30's and never threw anything away - must have inherited that. My daughter refers to them as memory quilts. They may be more practical than beautiful, but are easy to take care of.
