Traditionally quilts are manufactured in 3 layers: Top Layer, Batted Layer and Bottom Layer. The top layer is made up of different types of fabrics while the batted layer is made up of solid wool or cotton and the bottom layer is made up of thick fabric, which is sewn together with other two layers.

According to Robert Bishop’s and Jacqueline M. Atkins’s “Folk art in American Life”, quilting became known in Europe during the Christianity era. In the Northern Europe where the climate is often harsh, quilting offer warmth as well as protection from dust. In Asia and Middle East, the earliest quilts were very large pieces of cloth. The invention of swing machines in 1840’s radically changed the manufacturing of quilts. In 1974 an international quilt festival was organised in Houston, Taxas. 

Quilts are an integral part of many world cultures in the form of an artistic expression. They are sometimes designed as blankets but they are different from the latter. A blanket is simply a large piece of cloth designed to be used to trap radiant body heat while resting or sleeping. It is made from one continuous piece of same fabric.

Quilts are usually made from cotton blends. They are light-weight, thus perfect for summer use or as winter topper with blankets underneath. The colour schemes of quilts can be very bright and varied or a mix of different colours on a white or solid background. Quilts are generally made with swing machines and patterns are sometimes dyed onto fabric instead the fabric instead of pieced together with fabrics scraps. The stiches during the swing of quilts are done in unique complicated steps, which are considered a traditional form of art. Modern quilts are generally less expensive than traditional hand-woven quilts.
