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.
