quiltsDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, searchNounquilts
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A quilt is a type of bedding composed several layers generally combined using the technique of quilting. Many are made with decorative designs, and some of these are not used as bed covering at all, but are rather made to be hung on a wall or otherwise displayed. In addition to quilting the quilt layers can be combined by tying. Tying refers to the technique of using thread, yarn or ribbon to pass through all three layers of the quilt at regular intervals. These "ties" hold the layers together during use and especially when the quilt is washed. This method is easier and more forgiving if the quilt is made by hand. Tied quilts are called, depending on the regional area, "lap", "comfort" or "comforter", among other names. In British English, duvet may be used instead of quilt, wadding is another way of saying batting, and calico refers to muslin, rather than to a fabric with a printed pattern on it.

Take them to a laundry mat that has those large front loading machines.=) Answered by @y - Tue Feb 9 07:27:12 2010 Does anyone know of a good website for cross stitch quilts? Q. My hobby is cross stitching pre-stamped quilts. My 9 year old nephew loves to watch me cross stitch and now he wants me to make him one. All I can find are baby quilts though and he's way too old for one of those. He likes baseball, hunting, fishing, horses and dogs. Does anyone know of any good websites where I can find a cross stitch quilt in one of these genres, or where I can buy transfers to iron them on to a blanket? Thanks.

Since you're doing regular cross stitch and not working from a prestamped pattern, your possibilites are limitless - you can find hundreds of free patterns online and even more in your local library. Your nephew will be able to pick anything he likes. Answered by Silver_Stars - Wed Mar 21 15:23:18 2007 Where is a good place to buy quilts in PA?
