Quilts - El Paso, Texas
Quilting is a process where several layers of material are sewn together in such a way that the layers will not shift. The cotton armor of the Aztecs and the leather jackets of Spanish colonial soldiers were both quilted. Quilting is frequently confused with piecework – the process of stitching small pieces of fabric together to form a larger unit of material – which might or might not be quilted. The textiles, patterns, and stitchery used in piecework often had personal significance to the maker, and both the handwork and the stories were passed down to later generations.
