What’s In A Quilt.
Published by admin0 on Tagged Uncategorized
Quilts are colorful bed coverings made by sewing together pieces of cloth into different designs. Quilts were more than warm protection against cold winters. Quilt making provided women with an important form of creative expression and invention. Quilts frequently celebrate birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and retirements and a number of the winning entries commemorate such events. Quilters come together at quilting bees to work on coverings together and to enjoy socializing.
Design
Many quilts are made with decorative designs;, some quilts are not used as bed covering at all, but are rather made to be hung on a wall or otherwise displayed. Crazy quilts are a popular form of quilt design. The stitches can be made in such a way as to form detailed patterns or designs on the quilt. Patchwork quilts are made from many pieces of different colored fabrics that have been sewn together, or “pieced,” in a design. A quilter can also sew different pieces of fabric onto the top of the quilt to form designs. Quilts designed to be used as bed coverings should exceed standard mattress size by a minimum of 20 inches on the width and length.
