Rob, the quilt hasn't been quilted, so women tied the quilt with the yarn. That is to keep the top, batting, and backing together, and to keep the fabric from moving apart. I would call it a utility quilt. My sister made those. Although, the back looks to be quilted. I don't know what to tell you. It is a pretty quilt and made perfectly.
