Stuffing material is then inserted through the opening into the interior of the module, and connection of the sheets and strip at a location interior of the marginal edges thereby closes the opening. Fasteners are attached to the marginal edges to permit detachable connection of the modules to form quilts, sleeping bags, window, wall ceiling or floor coverings, and the like. | |
