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? |
I'm thinking when it's a pot holder..but I see coasters listed. NEVER then! That is YOUR definition to place on your work!

If you can consider anything quilted a quilt, no wonder people brag about making 200-300 quilts in 5 years. I don't think so. My opinion.

I think you answered your own question here. I also make doll quilts and they can be pretty small depending on the doll.

Jan in VA Quilted ornaments are very small. It isn't a size for me, just a process. |
I agree, Jan.

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: |
