Cotton is a good choice for quilting. It offers durability and is easy to maintain. Stains are easily removed as well and the material is ever so soft.
One can purchase quilting fabric from websites like eBay, Patchwork and Quilting, Cotton Patch, Amazon, Hamels Fabrics, Planet Patchwork and Imperfect Home Making.
Quilting cotton is one of the best fabrics you can get for quilting. This fabric should be checked for color bleeding first. Your local sewing or fabric shop can suggest some fabrics for you as well.

Reconstructing anything from ashes is not possible.
Quilted jackets are typically made from scrap pieces of cotton fabric that is sewn together and then filled with quilt batting or cotton batting. The colors can vary greatly.
The type of jackets that Castle Jackets make is the cotton and silk kinds which is very comfortable and very easy to move in compared to other jackets that use other kinds of fabric.
Most quilts are made with 100% cotton, that has a fairly tight weave for durability. ( Egyptian cotton is way too tight a weave for hand quilting, but will work fine with machine quilting. ) Quilts cotton are identified by the way we use them, how long you use them and where we use them 1. Batik fabric has a tighter weave than traditional cotton. 2. Flannel and brushed-cotton are stretchier 3. Silk is absolutely gorgeous but it is slippery and frays like crazy. 4. 50% Polyester with cotton composition
Many modern quilters think that poly cotton fabrics are suitable for quilting because they do not shrink as 100% cotton does, it launders very well, does not wrinkle, and is easy to work with. Many other quilters think that poly cotton fabrics are UNsuitable because they do not accept stitching in the same way as 100% cotton fabrics: thread tends to lie on the surface of poly cotton instead of sinking into a soft ditch. Some quilters do not like poly cotton's too-smooth texture, preferring the softly crinkled affect produced when 100% cotton is slightly shrunken.

I am assuming a notion to quilt. If you heard someone say they have a notion to quilt that could mean that they are wanting to make quilts, or want to start quilting etc. A quilting notion is something used in the creation of making a quilt. Threads, rulers, templates, making pens, etc are considered a quilting notion.
