I'll admit it, I have a tremendous sex drive.

My girlfriend lives forty miles away.

I’m telling you, man…

…it’s physically impossible.

You can’t whistle the theme song to The Andy Griffith Show…

…without developing a skip in your step!

Go on, try it.

Ah HA! Told ya!

“Quilt” is derived from the Latin word culcita, which means “stuffed sack.” The earliest depiction of quilting was discovered in Egypt; it was an ivory figurine of a pharaoh wearing quilted clothing, ca. 3400 BC. One of the earliest existing decorative works is the Tristan Quilt, made around 1360 in Sicily. It is one of the earliest surviving quilts in the world and at least two sections survive, located at the V&A Museum (London) and in Bargello palace (Florence).

European settlers brought quilting to the Americas, and the earliest-known quilt made in America is from 1704. During the expansion into the Western United States, quilts were used as window coverings, doors, and walls for temporary housing as well as currency for pioneers.

“Quilting bees” originated in the midwest United States during the 1800s, where a lack of neighbors and a need for socializing drew women together to finish quilts and make new friends.

A quilt is made of three layers: a quilt top, batting, and a bottom layer. The top and bottom layers are made of fabrics stitched together. Batting (usually made of cotton or something similar) is insulation that makes the quilt warm. There are three basic types of quilts: plain, or whole cloth quilts; appliqué quilts; and patchwork quilts.

The most expensive quilt ever sold at auction is a Civil War-era quilt known as the Reconciliation Quilt. It was bought for $264,000 at Sotheby's in 1991.
