Patchwork & Quilting

Did you know that patchwork and quilting are different?? i didn't know that until i went for my first patchwork & quilting class last night. :) Found out by chance very last minute that there was a class at the cc near my house. So i ran down, made my payment just in time for it! hehe... Anyway, patchwork is sewing pieces of fabrics together to make a bigger piece whereas quilting is sewing a few layers of material together to make a quilt. Typically, you sew the patchwork first. Then combine the patchwork layer with two other layers by quilting to form the finished product (i.e. quilt). Now the quilt can be bedding (typically) or be made into other items as you wished.

We were give a patchwork pattern to sew into something. No prizes for what i'm making it into.... hehe... why, a bag of course! :p
