Wink Hap

My grandmother, born in the early 1900s, also used the word "hap" for a specific crazy-quilt-style blanket that she had. I think it was made by either her mother or mother-in-law, who was very Irish. My grandmother was born and lived out all her life in Altoona, PA (central PA). The hap was probably made of pieces of wool, but all the pieces were dark and of different sizes and shapes. If my memory serves me correctly, the pieces were stitched together using a blanket-type of stitch. It was very heavy and very warm. I don't know what ever happened to it. I wish I had it, though, for posterity's sake! It's nice to know that someone else has heard of the term "hap", and that it has the same defining characteristics.<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>
