A quilt on display is a far cry from some itty bitty thing quilted in construction serving as a wall hanging for decorative purposes only.

I don't know what they are but these thangs we are making sure are pretty. Guess I will just keep making them and call them whatever I choose. Sometimes some of them cause me to call them junk, stupid, impossible or lovely.

People can argue all they want, but a quilt is a quilt is a quilt. :!:

Everyone can look up the meaning of Quilt on Google , it defines what a Quilt is and what is Quilting , I just did and was surprised at what I read, its crazy to dispute anything before you know
I myself love the art of sewing in any style, and very much enjoy
everyones work here no matter what they make , so please look it up and see the definition of Quilt.. sorry had to look it up myself and had to reply to this thread.. love everyone here and their work..

If it is quilted, it is a quilted wall hanging.
This idea of finding a pattern you really like and then find it is a wall hanging and only gives size and directions for a wall hanging is completely absurd to me.
Yes, some are quite beautiful, but they are still not quilts, they are wall hangings.
There, I finally got that out of my system. I hope somebody agrees with me.
