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.

I washed it twice with tide and it is still there how can I get it to look clean??? I don't wanna have to buy a new one. Yes, I used Shout. It didn't work. Asked by C00KiE - Fri Jul 2 18:28:59 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The fact that only one area is dingy is probably due to a spill rather then it ingesting wash water dirt and having an overall blahness. Because it has pink on the quilt you don't want something to bleach out the spot. Both bleach and any peroxide will cause color loss. I suggest making a paste of baking soda and vinegar and slathering it on the spot and putting it in the sun for the day ..re-wet the spot with a spray bottle over the course of the day then wash as normal. It may not be 100% fixed but it will be better then a bleached out spot. You can always repeat the procedure next week.

I want it to have an oriental look to it. Does anyone know of a good place to get the design or even just some cool oriental pictures that i can get ideas from? Asked by froggz - Sun Feb 25 12:07:22 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ok, this may just be a really stupid idea, but have you thought of looking at origami books? If you did them as line drawings, then they are really basic shapes and I really think for instance some of the butterflies would look good as quilt pieces that way. Maybe also look up kanji or chinese characters and see if some of them would work well incorporated into a design. Peonies, some woodcuts, chrysanthemums... Otherwise, this person did a bunch of "oriental style" quilts you could look at to get ideas. There are some commercial patterns out there too, I like Helene Knotts, you could search for those.

Q. I make quilts, but I have not done a lap quilt. My friend wants me to put together her lap quilt for her, but the top is just 1 piece of preprinted material. On my quilts I sew several peices together and I tie a thick string threw every corner of it to hold it together. I do not want to do this to hers because it would interfere with the picture. It is about 48" by 56", any suggestions. Thank you Asked by Patricia G - Wed Sep 19 12:09:09 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I usually try to find ways to put the knots in according to the design. Just make sure they are 5 inches apart or closer. Or you can machine quilt it. A lap quilt is not too big for that. Just stay on the pattern. .
