If it is a wall hanging, it should be categorized as a wall hanging.
If it is quilted, it is a quilted wall hanging.
This idea of finding a pattern you really like and then find it is a wall hanging and only gives size and directions for a wall hanging is completely absurd to me.
Yes, some are quite beautiful, but they are still not quilts, they are wall hangings.
There, I finally got that out of my system. I hope somebody agrees with me.
A wall hanging is still a quilt if it's quilted. A tapestry can be either a rug or a wall hanging, but it's still a tapestry. Same with quilts, they can either be on a bed or hang on the wall and they're still quilts.
It's not the size or what you do with it. It's the construction.
