WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A patchwork quilt is a quilt in which the top layer may consist of pieces of fabric sewn together to form a design. Originally, this was to make full use of leftover scraps of fabric, but now fabric is often bought specially for a specific design.

Detailed explanation-2: -quilting, sewing technique in which two layers of fabric, usually with an insulating interior layer, are sewn together with multiple rows of stitching.

Detailed explanation-3: -These quilts were made by layering together a solid top, backing and filling. They were then quilted together with elaborate designs resulting in a beautiful pattern seen in texture and shadows. When pieced blocks were used it was usually in one of the many borders of a medallion style quilt.

Detailed explanation-4: -What makes a good design? For everyone it’s different but for me it’s symmetry, lines, proportion and the illusion of movement within the design. Proportion – proper proportion in a design makes for an eye pleasing piece – if the proportion is off then it doesn’t quite look right.
