Quilting is the craft of sewing together layers of fabric, usually consisting of a decorative top layer, a middle layer of batting or insulation, and a backing fabric, to create a warm, padded textile known as a quilt. This process often involves stitching patterns that hold the layers together while adding artistic design and texture. Quilting can be done by hand or machine, with techniques ranging from simple straight lines to intricate, elaborate designs. Beyond its practical use for warmth, quilting is a form of creative expression and cultural storytelling, with rich traditions around the world. Quilts often serve as heirlooms, gifts, or artistic displays, reflecting personal or communal histories.
