The Quilt is the third 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; 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.[11]

Singles

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.

The next single off the album will be "Guilty as Charged" featuring Estelle. The song premiered on U.K. radio November 1. Travie McCoy announced on 102.7 Kiss Fm, in Los Angeles, Gym Class Heroes are planning to shoot the video for "Guilty As Charged" in Las Vegas sometime soon.

The song "Don't Tell Me It's Over" originally featured Lil Wayne

While not released as a single, the song "Home" was featured on Madden NFL 09 without the minute long intro.

"Live a Little"'s music video was uploaded to Youtube November 17, 2009.

Early release

In some stores, The Quilt was released before the release date. The most prominent example is Future Shop, with the album being out on shelves before the release date, September 9.

iTunes version

Along with the normal 14 track album, iTunes also offered an extended edition for $12.99 that included three "Stressed Out Remix" versions of "Cookie Jar" and "Blinded By the Sun" and music videos of "Peace Sign / Index Down" and "Cookie Jar".
