And let's face it, blankets or fleece throws are generally cheaper, warmer and easier to launder than quilts. This is a very crazy hobby that we have.
That's a good possibility. My mom wouldn't let me use the quilt my grandmother made me. My mom said that it was too small to be used as a bed spread (didn't come to the floor) and so she never let me use it on my bed. My grandmother did beautiful work and all by hand. I have that quilt now and do use it. I wish I'd gotten to use it as child.
