patchwork biscuit quilt (also known as a puff quilt or bubble quilt)

This is a patchwork biscuit quilt (also known as a puff quilt or bubble quilt) made with Americana-style calico fabrics and finished with a ruffled border. Design & Construction • Biscuit Technique. Unlike flat quilts that use a single layer of batting, biscuit quilts are constructed from hundreds of individual fabric pockets. Each square is pleated at the edges, stuffed individually with fiberfill or cotton, and sewn together in rows to create a plush, three-dimensional grid. • Fabric & Color Palette. The squares feature a scrappy mix of country calico prints, including small florals, polka dots, checks, and miniature motifs in navy blue, cranberry red, dusty blue, and cream. This color palette and fabric style were especially popular in home sewing and country decor during the 1970s through the 1990s. • Ruffled Edge. Your quilt is finished with a gathered navy floral ruffle around the perimeter, which is a classic hallmark of vintage country-style bedspreads and handmade heirloom quilts.
