However I ended up sending it back because the fabric was very THIN! I was afraid it would tear by the end of the summer. Instead I got the Isaac Mizrahi Pop Flower White Coverlet at Target and I Love it!! I actually did order the West Elm quilt that you mentioned.

IE, I would call the Denyse Schmidt and Hyde Hall things "quilts" and the Kok, the matelasse items, the thing from Pearl River, and the grid-pattern item "coverlets". However, it seems like with regard to the kind of coverlets that are "quilted" (IE stitched-down batting like on Kok and Grid-Pattern) the term is up in the air! There is a nice quilty coverlet at Target right now that is spring green on one side and brown on the other. It's in the Ipanema collection. It's not going to be as durable as most of the things you listed above, though. (I thought the stitching was in a leaf pattern, but I don't see that on the site, so I'm probably wrong about that.) Also, it's really easy for leafy green shades to clash, so it might not be right for you. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_14/601-9690814-9039351?%5Fencoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B000B8V9LA I always think of a quilt as being pieced and a coverlet as being made of a single piece of fabric that is maybe padded-and-stitched, but maybe not.

I think generally, though, that a quilt is thicker and has stuffing or batting, while a coverlet doesn't. Bedding experts, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
