Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A quilt is a type of bedding— a bed covering composed of a quilt top, a layer of batting, and a layer of fabric for backing, generally combined using the technique of quilting. Another technique for securing the quilt layers is tying. Tying refers to the technique of using thread, yarn or ribbon to pass through all three layers of the quilt at regular intervals. These "ties" hold the layers together during use and especially when the quilt is washed. This method is easier and more forgiving if the quilt is made by hand. Tied quilts are called, depending on the regional area, "lap", "comfort" or "comforter", among other names. Many quilts are made with decorative designs; some quilts are not used as bed covering at all, but are rather made to be hung on a wall or otherwise displayed. In British English, duvet may be used instead of quilt, wadding is another way of saying batting, and calico refers to muslin, rather than to a fabric with a printed pattern on it.

Q. Specifically, what is the best printable fabric/ink solution. Is there somewhere I can send/email the photos and get them printed on fabric? I'd like to use the quilt everyday. Thank you!

There are essentially two ways - print the photos on iron on transfer paper, then iron them onto the fabric, or print the photos directly onto special fabric that has been treated to go through an inkjet printer. Neither method is cheap, especially if you're doing a lot of photos. Iron on photos will wear and fade much faster, so I don't recommend it for quilts. For the special fabric, you can either buy pre-treated, pre-cut fabric sheets that have a paper backing, or you can make your own fabric sheets. If you buy the pre-treated, read the instructions carefully. Some are not washable, and some need to be heat set before they can be washed. You can get these sheets at most fabric and craft stores.
