Quilts come in vibrant colors and artistic designs. So, they can also serve a decorative purpose apart from covering you while sleeping. This blog will serve as a guide to quilt sizes so that you can get the perfect one for your bed.
History of Quilts
The word quilt is related to the Latin word ‘culcita’ and was first used in 13th century England. Quilts were quite popular in medieval times, in Europe as well as Mughal India. They were treasured heirlooms preserved for generations.
Apart from quilts for beds, the technique of quilting has also been used to make clothing. After all, quilts are comfortable in all seasons for their soft and light feel.
With the advance in technology, the quality of quilts improved and they could get manufactured on a larger scale. However, the endless emotions attached to an old quilt knit by your grandmother remain.
