What is a quilt pallet?

Answer 1

Growing up in a family with lots of cousins and lots of sleep-overs, quilt pallets were something we used many times... very simply, old quilts would be piled on a floor, usually in the living room, and that's where we would sleep. Or usually, it's where we giggled and told stories and pretended to be already sleeping whenever an adult would tell us to get quiet and go to sleep, right now.

Once when my own son had several boys sleeping over, we did this. One kid, from a rather wealthy family, had forgotten to pack his pj's, so I simply lent him one of my husband's white T-shirts. All the other boys wanted one also. That started a tradition of our sleepovers always being on the LR floor with everyone wearing a white T-shirt. It actually became a fad for a couple of years.
