Types of Quilts – Quilts can be classified into several types based on their design, technique, and purpose. Here are some of the most common types of quilts:
- Patchwork Quilts: These are made by sewing together small fabric pieces (patches) to create a larger design. The patches can be of different shapes and sizes, and are often arranged in a specific pattern.
- Applique Quilts: These are made by attaching pieces of fabric (appliques) onto a background fabric using various techniques such as hand-sewing or machine stitching. The appliques can be of various shapes and sizes, and often depict flowers, animals, or other designs.
