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!
