Quilts are truly an art form and represent many hours of painstaking work.

One of the earliest quilts still existing is the Tristan Quilt, made in 1360 in Sicily. Its original size was six meters  by four meters and is believed to have been a wall hanging.

The word quilt is derived from the Latin word culcita (meaning cushion, which then became the Old French word cuilte, and to the Old English word quyite, and then became the Middle English word quilt.

A quilt may also be called a duvet in the UK.

The most famous quilt may be the 1863 Jane Stickle Quilt, which is in the Bennington Museum.  It is only shown for a short time each year, from Labor Day to Indigenous Peoples Day, due the the fragility of the fabric.

I love quilts.  One of the most unusual I have seen was a denim quilt made for my boyfriend by his mother.  The material was collected from the jeans of his family members that his mother recycled into the quilt.
