Origin of Quilting
Quilting is one of the world's oldest crafts. Quilting can be traced back to ancient Egypt and China. Some of the oldest example's of quilting in existence are a quilted linen carpet found in a Mongolian cave and now kept at the Russian Academy of Sciences, and a carved ivory figure of a Pharaoh of the Egyptian First Dynasty wearing a quilted mantle c. 3400 B.C.
Quilting was brought to Europe through the Crusades in the 11th century in the form of an aketon or gambeson. This was a quilted defense jacket worn as armor or combined with mail or plate armor.
