Similarly, quilted armor was used in ancient China as early as the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE), providing soldiers with both protection and warmth. The Romans also adopted quilted textiles, using them as undergarments beneath armor to cushion against blows.

History
Quilting
Quilting traditions in Africa are deeply rooted in cultural expression, storytelling, and communal craftsmanship. While patchwork and textile layering have ancient origins on the continent, the modern history of African quilting is closely tied to trade, colonization, and the resilience of African textile arts. Unlike the structured quilt patterns of Europe and America, African quilting often emphasizes bold colors, asymmetry, and symbolic meaning.
