Actually, quilts.

My guild wants to use one as an opportunity prize

Quilts are not knitted. Quilts are sewn. A knitted
blanket/throw/whatever is called an afghan. Check Wikipedia for "quilt"
and "afghan blanket" and you will see the difference.

Do you mean knitted blankets or do you mean that they should be
doubled and have a filling of sorts ?

A covering to have a decorative purpose. Like a patchwork quilt out of
fabric.


That would be like a knitted throw or afghan, not a quilt. A quilt has
a backing, a padding, and a front that is cut pieces of fabric made into
a particular design.

one nice /cheaper method would be using old sweaters , throw them in
the washing machine = felting them , than cut up squares , take an old
sheet and sew those felted piece over the sheet ,,, mirjam

Thank you Murielle for the compliment !!! I think most my ideas come
from having most of my life to get along with what i have,
When we lived in UK , i bought the children some [ shame !!] ready
made knits, i kept those and when came home , i cut those up , + some
nice [bought] socks , [ Cut upper part , slice it open and you have a
neat Square ,,, and those became an afgahan my son still has, of
course you have to zigzag the edges !!!
