Interesting question! I belong to a group in which we record our fabric purchases and usage (only for ourselves to help "control" the stash) and I also post my completed projects. From June - August, I pieced, quilted and bound 15 quilts each measuring 36" x 48" that were donated to veterans taking the Honor Flight from Toledo, OH to Washington, D.C.

I counted those 15 quilts in my totals only to have a couple of people e-mail me and say that I should not list them individually, but perhaps count 2 as 1 because they were so small. They said that by counting those 15, I was inflating my totals and it made everyone else's numbers look too low. WHAT?!?

Of course I'm still counting them because the numbers are for my use; but I sure was taken back a bit. These quilts were all pieced just like any other quilt and are actually bigger than many of the baby quilts I make (and those e-mail senders as well, according to their blogs).

But I digress. I call anything that is pieced and layered a quilt, but sometimes refer to art work as wall hangings rather than quilts. They are still quilts in my mind and I guess I do sometimes refere to them as quilted wall hangings.

If you are interested, here's a link to my blog which has pictures of the 15 quilts.
