Yes! Many moons ago quilts or blankets were hung over windows and doors in bedrooms to be used to keep the heat in or out. My in-laws lived in a sod house for a few years and it was quite cozy with a heating stove and she hung quilts or blankets over the bedroom doors to keep the heat in the main part of the house. I once had a book with patterns for making insulated "covers" that were quite attractive. Our houses now are warn enough with central heat that we don't need to do this. Besides I would never hang one of my treasured quilts as insulation, but I sure would part with a few blankets if need be.
