To sign *quilt*, you will combine the signs for BLANKET, MAKE, and SQUARE. Start by holding both hands near your chest with fingers bent, and pull upward to your shoulders as if pulling a blanket over yourself. Next, form both hands into closed fists, stack one on top of the other, and twist them slightly to sign *make*. Finish by extending your index fingers and tracing a square shape in the air to represent the patchwork design.
Sign 'I love my new' followed by the three-part compound sign for 'quilt'.
Sign 'bed' first to establish the location, then sign 'quilt' to show what is resting on it.
Sign 'my quilt' followed by 'colorful' (wiggling your fingers in front of your chin) to describe its appearance.

No. While *quilt* starts with the sign for *blanket*, it adds the signs for *make* and *square* to specifically describe a patchwork quilt rather than a standard blanket.
Yes, for this specific variation of *quilt*, you should include BLANKET, MAKE, and SQUARE. However, in fast conversation, the movements might become more condensed and flow quickly together.
You can always fingerspell if you forget the sign! However, using the compound sign is more visually descriptive and commonly understood in the Deaf community.
