Exactly! But I guess I call quilts whose intent is not to keep a person warm by a different name as in quilted wallhanging or quilted table runner. I do not tie my own quilts, but the ones we tie for church are still quilts.
It's a pieced quilt top until it has batting and backing, then it's a quilt, IMO.
