patchwork quilting

Patchwork quilting is a craft that involves stitching together various pieces of fabric to create a larger quilted piece, typically a blanket. Each piece, or patch, can vary in color, pattern, and texture, allowing for creative designs. Once the patches are sewn together, a layer of padding is often added, and then a backing fabric is attached. The entire piece is then quilted—stitched together to secure the layers and add decorative patterns. Traditionally, patchwork quilting was a practical way to recycle fabric scraps, but today it is also a popular artistic expression and a cherished handmade tradition.
