QUILTING
Process of stitching together two layers of fabric, usually with a soft,
thick substance placed between them.
The layer of wool, cotton, or other stuffing provides insulation;
the stitching keeps the stuffing evenly distributed and also provides
opportunity for artistic expression.
Quilting has long been used for
clothing in many parts of the world, especially in the Far and Middle
East and the Muslim regions of Africa. It reached its fullest development
in the U.S., where it was at first popularly used for petticoats and
comforters.
By the end of the 18th century the U.S. quilt had distinctive
features, such as coloured fabric sewn on the outer layers (appliqué) and
stitching that echoed the appliqué pattern. Patchwork patterns proliferated
in the 19th and 20th centuries.
