Quilts differ from other types of bed coverings in the way they are constructed. One popular style of quilt fastens a quilt top, a layer of batting, and an additional layer of fabric. Another technique involves the process of tying, where thread or yarn passes through all three layers of the quilt to secure it together.
The top quilt (literally, the top of the quilt) can be made in a variety of ways, including patchwork (pieces of cloth are sewn together), applique (pieces of cloth are sewn to the main piece of cloth) or embroidery (an image created by needlework on the cloth).
Quilts come in all shapes and sizes, making it easy to find one that fits your bed just the way you like. Some quilts are used more for decoration than for warmth, and can be hung on a quilt rack in the bedroom.
