Not sure why this just hit me, but I was wondering about the word "QUILT" and how said and spelled in other languages. So PLEASE share if you speak another language!
I am just curious. One of those moments when the brain went "hmmmmm"

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. ();-)

Eine Decke, is a blanket, which we all know is not a quilt.
Eine Steppdecke, is a quilt. Consistent of three layers.
