The quilt sandwich refers to the three layers of a quilt before and during the quilting process. The top layer is the quilt top or flimsy, the middle layers is the batting (sometimes called wadding), and the bottom layer is the backing. These three layers are then affixed together using one of several types of quilting or tying to form the body of the quilt.

Angela Grace’s first quilt was started when she was 18, given away unfinished when she was 22, gotten back when she was 34 and finished when she was 39. Now that Angela makes quilts in significantly less time, she’s on a mission to make quilting simple so that new quilters can be creative. When she is not hanging out on the internet you can find her quilting, gardening, reading, or, most frequently, daydreaming.
