The Quilt is the fourth studio album by Gym Class Heroes released by Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance. The album was released on September 9, 2008.
Half of the album's 14 tracks are produced by Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy; Cool & Dre, Tricky Stewart, and Allstar produced the other half. Featured artists on the record include Busta Rhymes, Estelle, The-Dream, and Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates. Additional background vocals on the album are also provided by Patrick Stump, Patty Crash, Andre Leon and Lyndsey Ray. Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy is also credited as working on a track.
Before the album was released frontman Travie McCoy stated "It's just gonna be a real, real solid record. The demos we have now are just bananas, ...(Guitarist) Disashi is just a monster on the new stuff. You're going to hear a lot more of him singing on this one and a lot more of his guitar skills that I don't think he really got to flex on the last record."
The album debuted at number fourteen on the Billboard 200 with 32,266 copies sold in its first-week. By October 2009, the album's sales stood at 108,000.
The first single off the album was "Peace Sign/Index Down" which featured Busta Rhymes. It, however, made no impact globally so it was released alongside "Blinded By The Sun" and "Cookie Jar" featuring The-Dream. A video was shot for both "Peace Sign/Index Down" & "Cookie Jar" as they were official singles whereas "Blinded by the Sun" was a pre-release single off the album.
