At first pick out the kind of material for your quilt. Generally quilts are manufactured from 100 percent cotton or cotton mixes. It is a very durable, versatile and natural material to use, it is as a rule not flammable and is allergy free, in contrast to some synthetic fibres e.g. acrylic and art silk. Artificial fibers and cotton mixes can be sometimes slightly more hard to use as they crinkle and pucker much more than pure cotton does, even so they are sold in a truly wide selection of bright colors and pastels and can be breathtaking in appearance. Artificial fibers can be intricate to quilt though 'cause they have a "honeycombed" feeling, thus if you're an apprentice, you should use natural cotton or cotton mixes if you can.

When determining the color and pattern, try to pay attention to what kind of feeling you are going the quilt to create. When selecting the kind of material and color scheme you will have to integrate the color into your desired pattern. A great tip is to always get a little bit morefabrics than you think you are going to apply.
