I wish I could wrap that poor, sad person in the first quilt I ever heard about. My Grandmother was a young mother with 3 boys, aged 1 to 5. Their new brick house was un-finished, winter was on it's way. She and her mother made a pieced top, out of ALL the worn out denim and cotton duck work pants they could find. The back was an old cotton top-sheet. The "batting" was a full size, ARMY wool blanket. They tied the quilt with what thread and string they had on hand. My father is now 72, and he still has "warm" memories of being pinned under that quilt. Of course, the quilt was made and used in the 1940's!

My vote, QP be danged, any blankie that has multi layers, especially with one layer of love, that's a Quilt!
