Traditional quilting is a craft that involves sewing together layers of fabric to create a decorative and functional blanket, known as a quilt. This process typically includes three main layers: a top layer made of patterned fabric, a middle layer of batting for warmth, and a backing layer. Quilters often use various stitching techniques to hold these layers together, creating intricate designs and patterns. The art of quilting has deep historical roots, with origins tracing back to ancient civilizations. Many cultures have their own unique styles and techniques, such as the American patchwork or Japanese sashiko. Traditional quilting often emphasizes craftsmanship, creativity, and the use of fabric scraps, making it a sustainable and personal form of artistic expression.
