Quilt or Blanket? What’s the difference?
Quilts and blankets are both nice options for a memorable gift, but what is the difference?
A quilt has 3 layers – the t-shirts, batting, and backing - that are stitched together with a pattern. The middle layer provides structure and stability for the quilt. The stitching provides strength to the quilt and stabilizes the shirts. This helps the quilt to keep its shape and provides greater wear through repeated uses and washings. A sewn on edge, the binding, protects the edges of the quilt. Quilts are available in sizes up to a king size.
A blanket is two layers – the t-shirts and a fleece backing. The blanket is made by stitching the backing to the shirts and flipping them. This gives the rolled edge often seen on blankets. The edges of a blanket are durable and secure. There is no additional stitching through the layers on a blanket. Blankets are more budget friendly and are also a nice option when you are looking for something a bit lighter. Blankets are available in sizes up to a full size.
