Meanwhile, commercial quilts are made of cotton, silk, velvet, tulle, polyester, microfiber, and other synthetic materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also various other types of fabrics that are used for quilting, such as linen, flannel, muslin, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though quilters have a variety of fabrics to choose from, cotton is the fabric that most quilters prefer. However, that&#8217;s not the case with commercial quilts as they are made using a variety of fabrics, not just cotton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quilts made from cotton will please you enough if you are a lover of handmade products. However, if you are purchasing a quilt online or from a live store, you will find a wide variety of quilt collections made using different types of fabrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quilts are a great way to decorate your home and add elegance to your life.
