Coverings of Down Quilts.
I, THOMAS NICOL, 53 Cochrane Street, Glasgow in the County of Lanark, North
Britain, Down Quilt Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CENTRE PORTIONS OF THE COVERINGS
OF DOWN QUILTS to be as follows:-
This Invention, which relates to improvements in the construction of the centre
portions of the coverings of down quilts, has for its object to produce ornamental
designs thereon by a combination of two or more patterns, colors or designs of cloth
in the said central portions of such coverings.
The Invention has also for its object to render such central portions of the cloth
as light as possible, that is to say, by avoiding or preventing the occurrence therein
of portions of double cloth.
The Invention consists in cutting out in the main central portion of the covering,
pieces of the ground cloth of the shape and size of the pattern or ornamentation to
be produced and when such pieces of the ground or body cloth are so cut out, other
pieces of cloth of different colors or pattern and of corresponding shape and size are
sewn into the openings which had been previously formed in the ground or body
cloth. The sewing of the added portions to the edges of the ornamental openings is
effected by edge sewing and a sufficient width of the ground or body cloth is turned
in under itself so as to produce a double cloth edging which will not fray.

I, THOMAS NICOL, 53 Cochrane Street, Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, North
Britain, Down Quilt Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention which relates to improvements in making the centre portions of
the coverings of down quilts has for its object to produce ornamental designs thereon
by a combination of two or more patterns or colours of the fabric or by the use of
cloths of different kinds and to render the said central portions as light as possible
by avoiding or preventing the occurrence therein of double cloth.
Figure 1 of the annexed drawings illustrates in plan and figures 2 and 3 in trans-
verse sections to a larger scale the mode of carrying out the Invention which consists
in cutting from the main central portion a of the covering, pieces of the ground cloth
of approximately the shape and size of the pattern or ornamentation desired, the
number of such pieces varying according to the design to be produced. When such
pieces of the ground or body cloth are so cut out other pieces b, of cloth of different
colours or pattern or of different texture and of a corresponding shape to the parts
cut out, are inserted in the openings the added portions being sewn to the edges of
the ornamental openings.
As seen at c figure 2 a sufficient width of the ground or body cloth around the
ornamental opening or openings is turned in under the main portion a of the centre
part of the covering so as to produce a double cloth edging which will not fray or
instead of turning in the edge of the body cloth a the edge of the filling in piece b
may be so turned in as indicated at e¹ figure 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
A down quilt having the centre portion of the covering constructed or made,
substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
