Normally, I just refer to a quilt as a utility quilt if it's not a beautiful quilt, not quilted, especially not hand quilted, a quilt that is meant to be used and abused and you wouldn't be upset if your kids drug it around on the floor or your dog laid on it. My grandma would make these up quick with unattractive fabrics, usually just squares or maybe 9 patches - something she wouldn't waste a lot of time on cutting pieces, sewing, or quilting. She would just use up any fabric she had or that someone gave her. She would never have dreamed of throwing away something that could be used.
