Quilting has a long history, with evidence suggesting that quilts date back to ancient times, around 3400 B.C. in Egypt. However, the tradition of patchwork quilting as we know it began to take shape in Europe during the Middle Ages and became particularly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries in America. Therefore, quilts have been made for approximately several thousand years, with a rich evolution over the last few centuries.

Why is a newly made quilt warmer than an old one?

Some older quilts were made of cotton or fillings that washed away over the years, so a newer quilt will be warmer. Older quilts could also have been made of fabrics that were made of fewer threads, and therefore become what we call "threadbare" over time. To re-work older quilts, you can carefully separate the layers, and add new batting, or add a new layer to the old quilt, as new backing.
