Best Answer

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

How do you tell the difference between cotton and polyester?

This guide will explain the difference between cotton filled and polyester filled bedding sets. Cotton filled quilts are typically more expensive because of the added skill required in making the quilts. 100% cotton quilts are normally heavier than polyester filled quilts because polyester is a less dense fiber. Because of the lighter weight, polyester has more "holes" with which to retain heat. For this reason, polyester quilts are lighter and can be warmer than 100% cotton quilts.
