Provencal French Linens by Mediterranean Interiors

---

The term Provençal quilting, also known as boutis, refers to the wholecloth quilts done using a stuffing technique traditionally made in the South of France from the 17th century onwards. Boutis is a Provençal word meaning 'stuffing', describing how two layers of fabric are quilted together with stuffing sandwiched between sections of the design, creating a raised effect. The three main forms of the Provençal quilt are matelassage, piqûre de Marseilles (also known as Marseilles work or piqué marseillais), and boutis. These terms, along with trapunto are often debated and confused, but they are all forms of stuffed quilting associated with the region.
