What is a Quilt?
A quilt is a multi-layered textile, traditionally composed of two or more layers of fabric or fiber. Commonly three layers are used with a filler material.
These layers traditionally include a woven cloth top, a layer of batting or wadding, and a woven back combined using the techniques of quilting.
