A friend of mine, I freaked her out one time when I hollered at her and said, a quilt is not a bedspread.
A quilt goes on top of the bedspread.
So, I mean, the simple definition of a quilt is three layers.
When it's laying on the bed, the top layer is called the quilt top, and there's a backing, which is just another piece of fabric.
And in between those two things is some kind of wadding or batting.
And then the quilting is the stitches that hold the three layers together.
And if you do a row of running stitches to hold the three layers together, that makes a line.
And so somebody thousands of years ago figured out, oh, that's a line.
It could go anywhere.
So you could make designs with the quilting itself.
But also the quilt top is most often the colorful part that we think of as a quilt.
And that can be pieced with fabric sewn side by side, or it can be appliqued by laying one patch on top of a background fabric, you know.
You get that thing done, and then you have to quilt your quilt with quilting.
That's right.
You have to quilt your quilt with quilting.
Well, there was a couple of things that surprised me.
The way quilts started was not the way I imagined.
I had absorbed the information somehow that quilts got started because the fabric was so precious to those early settlers and they had to save every scrap and they had to sew it together to make a blanket, which that's what I thought it was.
But it wasn't that at all.
The way quilts started was that in India in the 1600s, they made quilted cotton
