    (Quilt qua)
    Appliqué is the name given because of the decorative technique of sewing fabric shapes to a different colour fabric and has been around in some form for as long as humans have been able to use a needle and thread. Some believe that the idea of appliqué may have come from patching holes in worn garments or linens.

    One Example of that art form is found in the Boulak Museum in Cairo, Egypt. It is a ceremonial canopy dating from 980 B. Queen Esi-mem-kev funeral tent was made out of that material. The canopy is made of gazelle hide decorated with symbolic serpents and blossoms. The appliquĂ©d pieces are dyed in various colours of pink, blue green and golden yellow. AppliquĂ© usually decorated objects that were used in everyday life so not many examples have survived through the centuries. Surviving examples in museums include crusaders’ banners and cloaks decorated with appliquĂ©d motifs.
