If you had a quiet weekend at home, it means that you really didn �t do anything but relax and take it easy.
I �d say the correct or most correct answer is:
I had a quiet weekend (at home)

I agree with libertybelle for a simple statement. I can see using "My weekend was quiet" in the context of more information.
My weekend was quiet after the crazy week I had.
I worked like a slave all week, but my weekend was quiet.

Both are correct and both can have the same meaning. The tendency in meanings (as already explained) is that "I had a quiet weekend" is more personal (more by choice) and "my weekend was quiet" tends to imply it was free of outside influences. |
