What is a Quilt? A Quilt is often viewed as a utilitarian household coverlet for a bed, consisting of multiple (two or more) layers. The most common quilt construction consists of a top layer, a bottom layer, and a layer of padding in-between], joined together by stitching or tying of knots.	First Class At 55 ©2002

What is an Art Quilt?

The Art Quilt is contemporary art for walls, not for beds. Quilt National, a juried exhibition describes the technical distinctions that define the medium as "All work must possess the basic structural characteristics of a quilt. It must be predominantly fabric or 'fabric-like' material (to which other materials may be added) and must be composed of two distinct layers - a face layer (which may be pieced, appliqued, and/or painted), and a backing layer. The face and backing layer must be bound together by hand or machine-made functional quilting stitches or tied embellishments that pierce all layers and are distributed throughout the surface of the work."
