| Summary: | cadder n In Cupids, a woman related that a special type of quilt was made that was used on the boats going to Labrador. These quilts were called "catters". 43 They were smaller than a normal quilt used for a single bed, and were made for use on the bunks aboard a ship. Catters were thicker than normal quilts, and were constructed of old material, since the boats were frequently dirty.
