Why can't the twelfth lunar month be a quilt?
This is because the customs of every place are different. In some places, it's not just the twelfth lunar month that you can't make quilts, and you can't sweep the floor on New Year's Day. On New Year's Day, you can't leave melon seeds, candy paper and cigarette butts everywhere in the living room. It is said that a sweep is equivalent to sweeping away a year's wealth.
