IMHO a quilt is a blanket. It also is a covering put on a bed. A blanket is a blanket no matter how it was created.
I'm sure 200 plus years ago ladies that used old fabrics and materials around the house who quilted considered them blankets........a covering to keep family members warm.
I'm sure I'm going to ruffle some feathers with some of you with my comments. If it's put on a bed it does not matter what it is called........blanket, coverlet, quilt, comforter............ whatever........it all serves the save purpose........keep bodies warm at night while one is asleep in the dead of winter with -20 degrees. :twisted:
