quilt
Layered bed cover
A quilt is a bed covering made of two layers of fabric with padding between them, held together by stitched patterns.
The decorative stitching—quilting—creates texture and prevents the filling from shifting.
Quilts are often made from patchwork, with pieces of fabric sewn together in geometric or artistic designs: a handmade quilt passed down through generations.
To quilt is to make such a covering or to stitch layers together in this way.
