QUILTED Meaning and Definition

  1. Quilted refers to an object or fabric that has been decorated, adorned, or stitched together with an intricate and repetitive pattern of stitches. The term is typically associated with textiles, specifically with quilts, which are thick bed covers made by sewing multiple layers of fabric together. The process of quilting involves stitching through these layers to secure them and create a decorative design.

    The stitching itself often forms a distinctive pattern, with straight lines, geometric shapes, or intricate motifs. The layers of fabric can be filled with a soft, insulating material, such as batting or other types of padding, to create a warm and cozy textile. Quilting serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, as it adds durability, structure, and quilts can be used for warmth or as decorative elements in interior design.

    Quilted fabrics are widely used in various applications beyond traditional quilts. They can be found in clothing, such as jackets, vests, and accessories like purses or bags. These items offer extra warmth and insulation due to the additional layering and stitching. The quilting technique has also been adopted in upholstery, creating textured surfaces or adding cushioning to furniture pieces.

    Overall, quilted describes an item or fabric that has undergone the specific technique of quilting, resulting in a beautiful, intricate, and often padded design.

  2. Formed as a quilt, or into a quilt.
