You can use various kinds of quilting materials, fabrics to get your work done as they will help you to get great blends of colors, shapes and designs.
The quilting thread that is used is very important factor in producing good quality quilt. As drawing board serves for a painter, the same way Quilting fabric serves for a quilter. Stitch different patches together to prove your creativity and produce a quilt with shades that is a treat to the eye.
Remember that using a thin cloth is not a good idea as it can slip and side. For most quilters, cotton is the favorable fabric.

Cotton is easily washable, may be these are all the reasons why most of the ancient quilters used cotton as their quilting material.
