Claim:
A bedclothes apparatus, comprising: first and second blankets each sized to cover two occupants of a bed; the first blanket having a first central section and opposed first and second segments formed on either side of the first central section; the second blanket having a second central section, the second blanket partially severed along the second central section to form a first coverlet having a first marginal edge and an opposed second coverlet having a second marginal edge opposing the first marginal edge; the first coverlet of the second blanket substantially coextensive with respect to the first segment of the first blanket, and the second coverlet of the second blanket substantially coextensive with respect to the second segment of the first blanket; a first fastener assembly formed between the first marginal edge of first coverlet of the second blanket and the first central section of the first blanket to releasably connect the first marginal edge of the first coverlet of the second blanket to the first central section of the first blanket; a second fastener assembly formed between the second marginal edge of the second coverlet of the second blanket and the first central section of the first blanket to releasably connect the second marginal edge of the second coverlet of the second blanket to the first central section of the first blanket; the first fastener assembly operable independently of the second fastener assembly to secure the first marginal edge of the first coverlet to and along the first central section of the first blanket to allow the first coverlet to be laid across the first segment of the first blanket, and to release the first marginal edge of the first coverlet from the first central section to allow the first coverlet to be moved away from the first segment of the first blanket and the first central section of the first blanket; and the second fastener assembly operable independently of the first fastener assembly to secure the second marginal edge of the second coverlet to and along the first central section of the first blanket to allow the second coverlet to be laid across the second segment of the first blanket, and to release the second marginal edge of the second coverlet from the first central section to allow the second coverlet to be moved away from the second segment of the first blanket and the first central section of the first blanket.
