My wife's grandmother was an excellent quilter. We have a couple of her quilts hanging in our house. She would sit in her chair and quilt for hours. Patty says she thinks her grandmother could even quilt with her eyes shut.
Quilt by Patty's grandmother Kathryn Wolpert
The definition of quilting is "Sewing two or more layers of fabric together to make a thicker padded material. I always thought of quilting as the patchwork quilts where decorative designs are patched together then quilted into a comforter.
I learned that there is more to it than that. Early American quilting was more commonly whole-cloth quilting. Those were more functional quilts for warmth. Patchwork quilting in America dates to the 1770's. That pales to the age of the first recognized quilt dating to 3400 BC. It was depicted on a carving of a Pharaoh in ancient Egypt.
