The Snuggly Quilt

Posted by admin on Jun-16-2011

Beds that are covered with colorful beddings are attractive to look at and seem to pull you in. One of the most comfortable and attractive of these is a quilt. This is a type of bedding that is made up of a quilt top, a soft and squishy middle, and fabric at the bottom for backing. The quilt is perfect for snowy or stormy nights when you just want to settle down and sleep.

A quilt is more than a bedding though. It is full of tradition and it can reflect the ways of life of the people who use it. For instance, Amish quilts are reflective of the Amish people’s way of life. Theirs are not colorful quilts as it still follows their philosophy of simplicity and this is seen in how they use black as the dominant color. However, their quilts have a high level of craftsmanship as seen from the vigorous patterns that they use which contrast well with the black.

Baltimore album quilts, on the other hand, are made of blocks that are appliquéd with a different design. These designs are usually floral.

Hawaiian quilts are whole-cloth ones that feature big symmetrical appliqués in solid colors on top of a solid color which is usually the ground fabric. These are often displayed by local plants.

A log cabin quilt is separate quilts put together. These feature blocks made of differently colored strips of fabric that encircle a small centered square.

You are lucky if you have a quilt in your family which is full of tradition and memories.
