A quilt is made up of three layers. The top layer is generally made from 100% cotton fabrics. These fabrics are cut and then sewn together in a process called "piecing." The middle layer of the quilt is called the "batting" and is cotton, polyester, a combination of both, or wool. Finally, the backing is usually one large piece of 100% cotton. Many modern quilts have a pieced backing which the quilter creates from piecing leftover sections of fabrics that were used in the top layer.
