    What is a flimsy?

    Someone placed an ad for a flimsy. Then went on to say she wanted it for a friend who needed a King size quilt. Is a flimsy just a backing and top? Thanks in advance for your input.

    -Hmmm flimsy has a much better sound to it than UFO does. Especially to non-quilters. I was out visiting a friend and her boyfriend showed up so to get out of there politely I told her I had to get home and finish a UFO -The looks on their faces was priceless. Now he thinks I'm mechanically inclined and wants me to work on his truck-not the brightest bulb in the package.

    Someone decided this would be a cutesy word for "quilt top". I can't stand that name. I'm not big on 'cutesy'...

    I agree. What's wrong with "quilt top"?

    I agree. I just call a quilt top a quilt top which is an unfinished quilt.
