I don't know if you are thinking about this strictly in a mundane
sense or whether you might also be considering it as an SCA hobby
or might just be interested in knowing about period quilting.

Anyway, you might want to take a look at these two files in the
Florilegium:
quilting-msg      (39K) 11/16/99    Quilting in period.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/TEXTILES/quilting-msg.html
Hist-of-Quilt-art (36K)  3/30/99    Quilting and applique class notes and
                                       biblio. by Lady Bianca Rose Byrnes.

There's also this file if you wish to use up that cubic yard of yarn:
