My gran made me a "bedspread" when I was 15 that was a pieced top and pieced back with no batting. All cotton; tied with yarn (like all of her quilts). That quilt was extra special to me because gran let me select the fabrics and dictate the layout. Funny to look at it now because my taste hasn't changed all that much - super scrappy is still my style! LOL
It's held up really really well over the years - it's 24 years old now. Right now it lives draped over the back of my couch.
