Thanks VarunGrazitti for the links. I have looked through those several times. However, they do not have the additional information that I am looking for.

My finding:
I figured that I can add quilts inside components by using the following code within a custom component named "custom.test.ftl".

 

<#assign param = "Hello World" >
<@component id="quilt:BlogArticle" param=param />

 

Within this quilt, there is another component named "custom.test.get-param.ftl" which I try to grab the param that was passed to the quilt using the code below.

 

<#attempt>
    ${env.context.component.getParameter("param")}
<#recover>
    ${(page.context.component.getParameter("param"))!"No param found!"}
</#attempt>

 

I expect at least one of these to work but to no avail. I have stopped looking into it unless someone knows a way of doing it? So far this is the most creative way I can figure out.
