I agree with this. Linus has his blanket with him everywhere! Most of the populous associates a blanket with Linus. As long as someone is excited about what I give them, I'm not going to complain. I will, however, gently explain that their new blanket is something special and called a quilt and explain why. I'm a teacher at heart and love to instruct and look at the "aha" moment in someone's eyes.
