I, too, have made many a quilt with Jack Dempsey quilt blocks. I am sleeping under a quilt that my aunt made about 30 years ago and it is washed regularly and is in perfect shape. Here is a quilt that I made for my DD using the JD blocks - but, it has never been used or washed:

I have a quilt made for me in 1934, embroidered by my grandmother. I used it every day for years, the green fabric wore out but the embroidery didn't. Where you grab it to pull it up to your ears after getting in bed is where it wears, the rest of it looks like new.
