quilted
Sewn in squares
Quilted describes fabric stitched through multiple layers—typically two pieces of cloth with padding between—creating a pattern of raised sections.
The stitching holds the layers together while the padding provides warmth or cushioning: a quilted jacket, a quilted bedspread.
The technique produces a distinctive textured appearance with geometric or decorative patterns.
