Collective Threads quilts are made to use. Wrap your baby in one. Let the kids make tents with them. Picnic on them. Cozy up with one to read a book. And certainly put one on a bed to sleep under. In time a Collective Threads quilt will become not only a quilt but also a keepsake of treasured times. With care, a Collective Threads quilt will last to be handed down to generations to come to tell its stories. Our hope is that these functional works of art will become beloved family treasures.

what's in a quilt   
  Collective Threads quilts feature a variety of fabric types. Though most of our quilt tops and backings are made from 100% cotton fabrics, others may include distinctive silks, wools, hand-dyed and hand-loomed fabrics from the US, Africa, India and Japan. Our quilts are warm and durable featuring dense 100% cotton batting. The layers of the quilts are held together by detailed machine quilting (see below.) Each quilt has a custom made double bias binding for long wear.

the quilting   

  Collective Threads quilts are beautifully and meticulously machine quilted by talented machine quilters who work in conjunction with our artisans. Each quilt is custom quilted in organic and/or geometric designs that futher enhance the beauty of the piecing and the fabrics within the quilt.
