Quilt vs comforter

What is the difference between quilt and comforter?
  

Top answer

Hello, s-- and welcome to English Forums. A comforter is a big thick covering, two layers stuffed with filler and stitched very loosely together, while a quilt is thinner, sewn together at more intevals, and generally in a decorative pattern. At least, that has been my experience.

Thank you! Then do you know what is the difference of quilt from blanket?

A blanket has no filler; it is a single layer of warm fabric.

Also, the top layer of a quilt is generally made of many small pieces of fabric sewn together in a decorative pattern.
