A quilt is a fabric sandwich made of three layers, a top, a filling,
and a backing. These layers are held together by what is called
quilting, stitching that goes through all layers. A wall quilt is a
quilt made with smaller dimensions and meant for hanging on a wall. Wall
quilts can contain specialty fabrics and embellishments that are not
meant to be washed or undergo strain or wear.
Wall quilts made of dried flowers introduce a little of summer hues in
the home and add zest to the living room. They are available with many
botanical prints and its fun to make these quilts.
