Project Linus can call it a blanket as a generic term BUT I still make quilts for them!

Quilts will always be quilts to me, never blankets. My grandaughter made her first quilt at my house last summer. She later referred to it as a blanket... to me that's like the sound of nails on a blackboard (to quote someone else). I gently corrected her and reminded her of the work she put into that quilt. (You can read the whole story on my blog if you are interested - http://needlingthings.blogspot.com/2...w-quilter.html

On another note, my youngest daughter had taken the first quilt that I had made when I was about 16 years old and was using it. Recently, she gave it back to me asking if I could fix it. She had been putting it through the wash EVERY WEEK! Needless to say I was upset. It is NOT a blanket that can easily be replaced with a trip to the store. I felt like she had no respect for my quilt or how it came to be.
