Quilters use a variety of textile techniques when crafting blankets, including piecing, appliqué, and quilting. Piecing involves sewing together fabric pieces to create a larger design or pattern, while appliqué involves sewing fabric shapes onto a larger piece of fabric to create a design or picture. Quilting involves stitching through multiple layers of fabric, including batting or padding, to create a quilt. Other techniques include embroidery, fabric dyeing, and surface design.
