patchwork

Textile technique used mainly for quilts and bedcovers. Small pieces of fabric, often offcuts, in varying colours and patterns, are sewn together by the edges, usually in a geometric pattern, to form one large piece of material. Patchwork fabrics were popular for dresses in the 1960s. The technique is of peasant origin, and is a way of recycling old fabrics.
