quilts
Patchwork bed layers
Quilts are bed coverings made of layers—typically a decorative top, padding, and backing—stitched together in patterns.
The stitching itself is called quilting, and the craft has deep traditions in many cultures: a handmade quilt passed down through generations.
To quilt is to make such items or to stitch layers together in this fashion.
Figuratively, anything assembled from varied pieces may be called a quilt: a quilt of small farms across the valley.
