Wall Hangings or Crib Quilts: You Decide
You could always choose to hang a quilt on the wall rather than using it on a bed. These small and nearly square quilts are especially suited to be wall hangings, but you could use them on cribs instead… or in other seasons!
But let’s just call them “wall hangings” for now.
