I've heard quilt tops referred to here as flimsies...but then I've not spent much time talking with anyone about quilting except here!

I never heard the term "spiders". What an idiot I would be if it weren't for this board!!!!

Flimsy stories maybe but flimsy tops? not here in Wales and I'm sure not elsewhere here in UK. Patchwork tops here and Batting is wadding and it's a quilt when three layers are quilted! Wonder where flimsy comes from.

I'm an Aussie and I have never heard anyone call it that. We call it a quilt top. Must admit we say wadding but also say batting.

I've always used it to refer to fabric that's thin and loosely woven, not suitable for quilts. I've never heard of the quilt top being called flimsy.

This is just to wild! My grandmother used to call her nightgown a flimsy!

instead of just scraps-or spiders-now I use leaders/enders and have a whole basketful of twoseys now to be joined into fourseys for a scrap quilt down the road.....thanks to quiltsville.....
