I think they are real quilts. I don't know where that idea ever got started about real quilts or not real quilts. Our ancestors made more utility type quilts than they ever did the "artsy" type. They were a necessity to keep their families warm. Your quilts are lovely and keep up the good work. Don't let anyone tell you what is real and what is not. If you enjoy doing them then go for it.

Beautiful, they look like real quilts to me. Be proud of the great job you did on these rag quilts. For me, if you use fabrics, cut them into shapes and dew them together, then they are real quilts, just what you did. I want to try these if and when I get time.

How in the world did you end up making a Colts quilt and a Patriots quilt??? :shock:
I kid, I kid. I'm just a die-hard Colts fan and it's always jarring to see them in the same place. ;)
I think your rag quilts look great! Keep sharing photos!

Quilt: bed covering made of batting enclosed between layers of fabric and kept in place by lines of stitching.
Summer Quilt: top and backing but no batting or filling.
How do your lovely rag quilts not fit the above definitions?
