覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
quilt「布を重ねて縫う」に -ing を付けた形で、動作なら「キルトを作ること」、名詞なら手芸・縫い加工やその縫い模様を表す。発音は /ˈkwɪltɪŋ/。teach quilting、quilting project、a jacket with light quilting のように、制作活動と衣服の加工の両方に結び付ける。単なる sewing より、表布・詰め物・裏布などの層を縫い留める点が核。
Connect quilting with the base word quilt plus -ing. As an activity, it means making quilts or stitching layers together; as a noun for construction, it can describe the padded stitched pattern on a jacket or blanket. Picture three layers—top fabric, filling, and backing—held together by visible lines of stitches. Useful combinations include teach quilting, a quilting project, quilting patterns, and a jacket with light quilting. Sewing is the broader activity of joining fabric, while quilting specifically emphasizes securing layered material, often while creating a decorative design and extra warmth.

quilting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
quilting は quilt「詰め物入りの布」を作ること・その模様を表す語で、quilt は古フランス語を経てラテン語 culcita「マットレス、敷物」に由来します。関連語に quilt, quilted があり、もともと「中に物を詰めた寝具」の発想から、布を縫い合わせるキルティングの意味になりました。
Quilting is formed from quilt and the suffix -ing, referring either to the activity or to its result. Quilt entered English through Old French and ultimately comes from Latin culcita, meaning a stuffed mattress, cushion, or bedding. The history reflects the central idea of padded material rather than decoration alone. As techniques developed, quilting came to describe stitching layers of cloth and filling together, and then the patterned, padded construction found in blankets, clothing, and other textile goods.
