At first pick out the sort of fabric for the quilt. Commonly quilts are made using one hundred percent cotton or cotton mixes. It is a very spacious, stable and natural material to work with, it is also generally not allergic and is not highly inflammable, as opposed to some man-made fibres e.g. art silk and polyolefin. Artificial fibers and cotton mixes can be often slightly more baffling to use since they pucker and wrinkle far more than organic cotton does, but they can be found in a truly wide selection of bright colours and paints and can be very stunning in appearance. Synthetics can be intricate to quilt though because they have a "honeycombed" feeling, thus if you're a beginner, try to use natural cotton or cotton mixes if it is possible.

When determining the color and pattern, remember to take into account what kind of mood you wish the quilt to create. When picking coloration and the type of material you should merge the color with your designed pattern. A good advice is to always purchase a little morefabrics than you are planning to apply.
