Whether a quilt is tied or quilted, to me, is still a quilt. It's made of 3 layers, regardless. I've made lots of donation quilts and they've always been loved, the people don't give a hoot, whether it's tied or quilted, they're just thrilled to death that someone gave them something that they made with their own 2 hands. I've also made lots of tied quilts out of double knit and poly knit fabrics to a men's homeless shelter. They're heavy, warm and will wear like iron. I've used blankets, mattress pads that the elastic has worn out on, a friend of mine, used and cut apart sweat shirts, for the middle. I also have used sheets for batting and have even cut some up for blocks.
