At present, patchwork fabrics are sold in different colors and patterns since many people are into patchwork and quilting, which can now be considered as art. Patchwork can even be seen in museums as well as private collections. But do you know that patchwork has served a useful role in history?

Patchwork is basically sewing together pieces of cloth or fabric and it was particularly useful during those really hard times and people needed to be resourceful. What people did was sew together pieces and scraps of cloth, the finished product of which was a larger material that can be used for practical needs.

However, patchwork and quilting have evolved to become a hobby and an art form and it is not just considered as a practical way of making use of our old and worn clothes or pieces of fabric. This evolution was particularly seen during the twentieth century. As technology has also evolved and has become more sophisticated at the turn of the 20th century, the method of piecing together fabrics have also improved. There is now this so-called Longarm quilting system, which is composed of a frame and a sewing machine.

Today, there is a wide array of colors and prints to choose from and this fact may not make choosing the right fabric any easier. This wide availability would also mean that you can be more imaginative and creative with your style. Of course, just because different fabrics for patchwork are now widely available does not mean that you cannot be resourceful. Leftover fabrics from the previous patterns that you have made can be used to make a new pattern. This is where your creativity will be tested and it can really be fun. You can come up with a design that is unique and that reflects your personality. You can also keep a memento of the important events in your life by making a design out of the fabrics used for special occasions like your wedding day, the old scarf that your mom made for you last Christmas, and so on.
