Okay, have I been living in a fog up until the last few months? I don't recall seeing the term "flimsy" used as a term for an unquilted top until just recently. I've been going to ask about it, and when Nann's blog referred to it, it reminded me that I haven't investigated it. I Googled the words flimsy and quilt, and it does appear that many are using it, but I really don't think I'd heard of it until the last six months or so. Am I the only one?

I'm not sure when I first heard it - in the last couple of years I would think. I find it a useful term when I list all my WIPs, which reminds me I must see if I managed to get in any other finishes on my Yahoo group list, before starting the list again for THIS year.

I never have, either, Louise. Perhaps someone just seized upon it as a useful term - since the original use is more or less obsolete now that hardly anyone uses a typewriter. . In message , Louise in Iowa writes
That had me looking up the word. I knew the word only as an adjective, but I hadn't heard it used as a noun other than the occasional use on this group for an unquilted quilt top.

It's been used on the Stashbusters and Quiltville groups for a couple of years.
