We didnā€™t have them either.

We had old thin wool blankets and handmade quilts.

It was so cold in the winter up in the (poorly) converted attic which had been made into three bedrooms.

One of my grandmas was a quilt-maker. She used the heavy old-fashioned batts inside and those quilts weighed a ton.

A couple of blankets and one of those quilts on you and you were toasty. I think they were the forerunners of the "weight blankets" that are popular today....lol.
 
We have a silk edged blanket on our bed right now. Dear wife just commented to be the other day that the blanket has to be old since they no longer make then that way. I suppose the sewn on edging is an unnecessary cost.

We also have a very expensive Amish made wool blanket that we bought maybe 25 years ago. We tried it once in the winter when we used to live in the midwest, but it was too hot to sleep under. It hasn't been used since but I paid so much money for it I still have it in the closet. I doubt it will ever be used now that we live in Florida.

My husbandā€™s mother made those heavy quilts and he still uses one on his bed. Theyā€™re also on the guest bed. People like them; I donā€™t. We had so many I gave or donated most of them. In hindsight I should have kept a couple more.
 
Dont rememberthe kind of blanket I had as a child? What i do remember was the chenille bedspread because i covered up with that! Maybe my mother didnt think i needed a blanket? Now I need to ask my younger sister. She probably had a blanket with a satin edge!

That's what I remember from childhood- unless it was freezing cold, it was a chenille bedspread and sheets.
