How do others say "quilt"?
#15
Sometimes my French friends call it "Patches" and sometimes "boutis". or coourtepoint.
Others from Google Translate:
peplomo from Esperanto, tumahi from Filipino, deche from German, poplan from Hungarian, edredon from Spanish, yorgon from Turkish, calcha from Portugese, trapunta from Italian~~~~
Just don't call a QUILT a "blanket" as I think there is a difference. ();-)

Still interesting to know all those different ways of naming a quilt.

Cobija pronounced Koh-Bee-Ha which is to say blanket in Spanish. When I tell someone I make quiltos, they don't understand, but when I say cobija, they understand immediately. May be that is just a regional word because in NY, the Spanish speakers there understood quilto.

Many years ago, when I went to meet my in-laws, in Missouri, my husbands Mother, and Grandmothers, called quilts, "couter pins". (not sure if I spelled that right or not) and addressing an envelope was "backing a letter". I think in the US, we have different names for things depending what region we live in. (My in-laws were wonderful)
