A quilt pattern is a design used to make a quilt, which is a multi-layered textile made of three layers: the top layer, batting or wadding, and backing. Quilt patterns range from simple to complex in terms of shape, color, and style. They can be pieced, appliquéd, or embroidered and can be made using traditional or modern techniques. Quilt patterns are frequently shared among quilters and can be modified to create one-of-a-kind and personalized works of art.
