A method and apparatus is described for fabricating a quilt produced from a quilt assembly comprising top and bottom linings (12, 16) on either side of a batt (14). A first roller (18) is connected to a first edge of the assembly (10). A second roller (26) is connected to a second edge of the assembly (10) opposite the first roller (18). The rollers (18, 26) are rolled toward each other to produce first and second rolls (28, 40) each comprising a portion of the assembly (10). Between the rolls (28, 40) there is left an unrolled portion of the assembly (10). Holders (30, 42) are connected respectively between the rolls (28, 40) and the nonrolled portion of the assembly (10). The assembly (10) is then passed through a sewing machine (44) to sew together the linings (12, 16) and the batt (14) in the unrolled portion of the assembly (10). The holder (42) is then removed to permit the sewing of the portion of assembly (10) within the second roll (40). Next, the holder (30) is removed to permit the sewing of the portion of the assembly (10) within the first roll (28). This completes the basic assembly of a quilt in accordance with the method of the present invention. The apparatus of the present invention comprises the rollers (18, 26) and the holders (30, 42).
