How small does it have to be before you stop calling it a "Quilt"?

p.s. Just as a matter of curiosity, what would one DO with a "quilt" that was, oh, say, 36" x 36" besides hang it up?

Quilted ornaments are very small. It isn't a size for me, just a process.

Isn't it fun to make up your own rules?

In my book, if there are three layers and they are all bound together with stitching....no matter how small...it's a quilt!
Definition of QUILT
1
a: a bed coverlet of two layers of cloth filled with padding (as down or batting) held in place by ties or stitched designs
There are little 1 inch tall dolls, so they probably could use a quilt on their bed! :-D :lol:
