I hang full size quilts on the wall, they are quilts, not wall hangings.
but why are we even bickering over this?
Let the creator call it what they want and hold our tongues. It is not for us to say or judge, lest it be done to us.
Quilt police for sure. not fun.

So to this ....its not a quilt until layers have been joined/combined with thread.
Its final function is of no consequence.

I don't think we are bickering...just voicing our opinions. At least I certainly meant no offense with my comments. And I guess I'm pretty dense, because I cannot make a small wall hanging into a quilt and make it look as though it was meant to be a large quilt. Sorry.

Really, what difference does it make? If someone makes something and wants to call it a quilt, so be it. If the fabric has been painted and thread painted why isn't it a quilt? It has fabric, thread, batting, backing, and binding.
Just because someone does something other than "traditional," quilting, it does not take it out of the definition of a quilt. That is why art is so wonderful; everyone sees it differently through their own eyes.
Thank you. GiGi
