@Satsuma by which i mean it is comfortable, fashionable, allows easy thermoregulation, and if you want to take a nap you already have a blanket

@Lady kibi reïnventing capes

@Satsuma they’re worn differently! capes are secured by a clasp at the front of the neck whereas quilts are secured by gravity on account of there being more fabric in front of your body than behind

@Lady until you need to leave the house in which case you want a bit of extra security while you’re running around

@Satsuma if you’re literally running around, you fold the quilt in half or thirds and drape it over your shoulders like a scarf

it’s less warming that way but if you’re running then the freedom of motion is more important

@Lady wait what sized quilt is this

@Satsuma my favourite quilt is 3.5′ × 5′ but i have a blanket which is twin‐sized and that works alright (i am tall)

definitely no bigger than that

@Lady i have one twin sized blanket but i put it on roommates couch before i discovered i was allergic to roommates couch (i dont really use couches so it took me a while to discover this fact) and i don’t trust the washing machines here

Mostly tho everything is full sized which is v cozy but not very maneuverable

@Satsuma yeah i feel like with a full sized anything it would need to be thin and you’d just fold it in half lengthwise

like with a wool blanket you could probably manage

@Lady mhm

I do have some very large scarves though. I am committed to the scarf aesthetic

@Satsuma i mean what i’m describing is basically just a blanket scarf only made out of actual blanket

@Lady and no pins allowed

@Satsuma feel like that would get in the way of “easy thermoregulation”; the whole point is that you can easily adjust how open it hangs

@Lady but if it keeps moving you have to constantly adjust it

@Satsuma i have not noticed this problem in my experiences, or it is just so automatic that i do it without thinking

@Lady hmmm
