Quilting has been around for centuries. Fragments of cloth sewn in layers with some sort of fibrous filling has been found in artifacts from the ancient Roman Empire. During the Middle Ages, padded (quilted) garments were worn by knights beneath their metal armor. Because cloth deteriorates with time, it is difficult to document the actual beginning of quilting, but it probably has been an important technique as long as textiles have been used.

What is a quilt top?
The quilt top is the uppermost layer of the quilt, overlying the batting (inside layer that gives the quilt most of its warm and depth) and the quilt backing. The quilt top is the layer that is made of pieces of different fabrics laid out to form a pattern or picture, and is often heavily decorated with special stitches. There are some quilts, particularly wedding quilts, where the quilt top is a single piece of fabric and the decoration is made solely in the quilting stitches that bind the three layers together.
