there's an investment commercial where a baby is in the crib, saying he hid the laptop under his blanket...

everytime it comes on, i say "it's a quilt" youngest dd told me the other day...."ma, let it rest"

I agree. Anything that keeps them warm and happy can be called anything they want. I have more important things to think about. Have a great day

No problem here. Just another word for something to warm you up :thumbup:

While I may think it is sad that someone does not know the difference, I don't have time to sweat the small stuff.

Nope It still keeps you just as warm. :hunf:

nope, doesn't bother me. They can call it whatever they want.
I just give them to people I love.

It makes sense that all coverings be referred to as "blankets" -

"Blanket"- in my mind - is something that can be warm and comforting.

So - no, in the context of Project Linus, it does not bother me that a quilt is referred to as a blanket.


Project Linus calls all the coverings they receive "blankets" in reference to the Peanuts' character Linus who carried a blanket. I do believe all the blankets in the beginning were made of fleece.

I think, if you are making the item out of love from your heart, it really doesn't matter what someone else calls it. If you are making the item because you want people to praise you for it, then you aren't really doing it for charity and of course you will be annoyed.

It doesn't bother me. My DH refers to my quilt retreats as blanket parties (lovingly). lol.
