Romanian term or phrase:plapumareasa
....Gaiţa Rozmarinovici, celebra Chiriţa, apoi îngâmfata plăpumăreasă a lui Costache Caragiale, ca şi franţuzitele lui Costache Facca sunt numai câteva din personajele care atestă existenţa acestui tip social ce-şi oglindeşte chipul caricatural deopotrivă în forma teatrală populară ca şi în cea cultă.

"Quilting" refers to stitching the three layers of fabric together; the quilt top, batting (also called wadding) in the center, and the fabric backing.

The Crazy Quilting Fad
In terms of quilts the latter years of the nineteenth century the best know quilt style was the Crazy Quilt. Crazy quilts were made of abstract shapes sewn together. Usually the quilt maker then used embroidery to embellish the quilt. First fancy stitches were sewn along the seams. Often the maker also added embroidered motifs including flowers, birds and sometimes a spider and web for good luck. Crazy quilting was quite the fad during this period. Magazines encouraged making crazies. Young women were particularly eager to make them. These quilts were seldom used as bedcoverings. Instead they were made smaller and without batting to be used as decorative throws.
duvet - este din fulgi , obligatoriu eventual de gasca - pe romaneste se cheama "pilota"http://dexonline.ro/search.php?cuv=pilota
comforter este o patura de obicei simpla desi ar putea fi asociata cu plapuma
Plăpumăfreasa produce un obiect util, dar şi estetic. Despre "duvet" pot spune doar că e un obiect uşor, care ţine cald, dar nu are nimic estetic. Nu cred că ar exista ca meserie " duvet maker" pentru că se fac în fabrici. Quiltmaker se poate, se practică
