In the early 1900's most quilters called quilts quivers, a mix of cover (kiver) and quilt. Even now most rural raised will say covers instead of blankets, comforters, or quilts.

Well a favorite old worn out quilt is called a "cuddle" by me! hehe
|
Well, my people are from Oklahoma and there we say quee-ill-lt.
|
In the province of Québec we call a quilt une courtepointe which means short pieces, When we quilt a top, we say piquer a la machine for machine quilting ou piquer a la main for handquilting. A woman that makes a quilt is called a courtepointiere

In Japan they say kee-ru-to. But if you are in a shop looking for fabric you say pa-chi-wa-ko. And a cutting board is kutto-bordo!
