Step by step to make Cold Quilt
1. Start by choosing your fabric. You can choose a fabric of your choice and from various options such as cotton, jacquard, velvet, etc. You can also use fabric scraps or new fabric.
2. Cut the fabric into rectangles, following the size of your quilt. Each rectangle must be at least 6 inches tall. You can use a quilt router with a quilting die to achieve an even shape.
3. Hold two rectangles together. Fold the top part down a bit over the bottom part. Use a hand needle to sew the rectangles together.
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all rectangles are sewn.
5. You must now stuff your quilt. You can use wool, suede, or any material you like. Place the material between the layers of rectangles and start sewing all the rectangles together.
6. Make sure that all the rectangles are well joined and that the filling is properly distributed.
7. Now is the time to stabilize the quilt. Sew a line across the top and also along the sides to hold the material in place.
8. Finally, hem all four edges and work it to a professional finish. Your Cold Quilt will be ready!

Final considerations
Cold quilt is an effective and robust way to cool temperature sensitive products – such as food and beverages – during transport and storage. The air mattress helps keep these items at a proper temperature so they can be preserved in compliance with regulations.
As the air cushion creates a humid and sealed space, it can also be used to relieve thermal stress suffered by plants in transport. Lastly, the use of cold quilts is a great alternative to Styrofoam packaging as it minimizes the use of plastic and other disposable materials.
