At first choose the kind of material for your new quilt. Usually quilts are manufactured using 100% cotton or cotton mixes. Cotton is a very durable, versatile and natural material to use, it is also normally not highly inflammable and is not allergic, in contradistinction to some synthetical fibres such as viscose rayon and acrylic. Synthetics and cotton mixes can be at times slightly more baffling to use since they crumple and crinkle far more than 100% cotton does, though they are available in a quite fantastic variety of bright colours and pastels and can be fabulous in appearance. Synthetic fibers can be hard to quilt though because they have a "porous" feeling, thereby if you're a beginner, try to use 100% cotton or cotton mixes if you can.

When determining the pattern and color, try to consider what kind of feeling you wish the quilt to create. When deciding on the type of tissue and color scheme you will have to aggregate the color with your desired pattern. A good advice is to always get a little bit more than you plan to use.
