Isn't a spider a cast iron skillet?

I've seen this term a lot lately too and finally figured out from the context that it was a quilt top---glad I was right about that but I too always thought of flimsy as something thin, light or close to being worn out.

I looked it up in the dictionary. Synonyms for "Flimsy" are words like: delicate, fragile, easily broken. Why anyone would associate that with a quilt top is beyond me. I've never heard of it, and never plan to use it. That's my story.

Don't think we refer to a 'flimsey' in England.

You & me both. I just always referred to them as "tops". Live & learn!

Me too and I'm from Perth, so you know we can be a bit "different" Here a "spider" is a big glass of pop (Creaming Soda is the best!) with a huge dollop of icecream in it....loved them when I was a kid.

Well, I will stick with quilt top & flimsy as something of poor quality, unworthy of being in my quilt.
