Quilting fabric...why is it called that?
Can this type of fabric also be used for apparel? Or is it exclusively made for quilting purposes only? Why then, is it labelled quilting fabric?
Nutmeg, cilantro, sage, mint, thyme... these are a few of my favorite things!

Ditto.
Most quilting fabric is pretty light weight and would be appropriate for a baby but not for something you'd want to wear. Designer fabric (like Michael Miller, Riley Blake, etc.) is slightly heavier and wouldn't be so see through. Apparel fabric is heavier than both of those and then home decorator fabric is probably not something you'd want to wear, but would be good for tote bags.

Most of the stores separate them out pretty well (at my local JoAnn's, the quilting fabric is in the back, the apparel is in the front; I think Hobby Lobby doesn't carry apparel fabric here.) but they'll also say "apparel fabric" on the top of the bolt.
This is cotton poplin, but it usually says in that area. (I can't find any pictures on google of an apparel or quilting fabric top.)
