How are these quilts made?



All of the quilts in this exhibit are made with fusible web.  Fusible web is a glue that is transferred or "fused" to fabric with the heat of an iron.

Fused fabric is cut into shapes and then fused to a background fabric to make a design.

Sometimes the edges of each piece are sewn down - sometimes the edges are not.

All of the quilts follow the traditional definition of quilting by using stitching to secure three layers: the front design layer, a layer of batting and a background piece of fabric.
