A quilt is a type of blanket, typically made by stitching together multiple layers of fabric. These layers usually include a top layer (often patterned or designed), a middle layer of padding (like cotton or wool), and a bottom layer (which can be a plain fabric). Quilts are usually sewn in intricate patterns, making them both functional and artistic. The word “quilt” can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is pieced together from various elements or sources. The Indonesian equivalent of quilt is selimut rajut or selimut bersulam.
