Quilt Lover

Hello Everyone, My name is Aditi and I am a quilter. Some of you accept my page request may be because you know me and do not know what is quilt. Many of you have a comforter or blanket. So the question came to your mind, what is a quilt. A quilt is a 3 layered bed covering that means it is composed of 3 layers: the top, middle, and back. The top layer is actually a pieced fabric, in which different pieces of fabrics are sewn together in different designs or patterns(star, applique, log cabin, pinwheel, and more to come). The middle layer, called batting, filling or wadding, is actually the thick, fluffy layer of any of these materials: wool, down, cotton, or polyester that gives the warming effect. The back or bottom layer is similar to the top layer fabric. All these 3 layers are stitched together through a process called quilting and this makes them one joint piece of fabric. Quilts are usually heavy and thicker than blankets and they are used to stay warm in the winters. Quilts, if made from flannel filling with cotton on outside fabric then they can also be used in the spring or as an AC blanket. The quilt is not only used on the bed, it can be used on your dining table as quilted placemats, coasters. The blanket is a rectangular large single layer covering that keeps the sleeper warm while sleeping or resting. They are mostly used in winters only. The uses of blankets are similar to the quilts, but they all differ in thickness, filling/material, and construction.
