Padded bed cover or the method used to make padded covers or clothing. The padded effect is achieved by sewing a layer of down, cotton, wool, or other stuffing between two outer pieces of material; patterned sewing is used (often diamond shapes or floral motifs).
Quilts have been made in the home for centuries throughout Europe, the East, and more recently the US. They are sometimes decorated with patchwork or embroidery.
