A tribute to the legacy a mother has given to her family & friends. “Mary’s Quilting Passions” documents a quilt show organized by Mary Loser’s daughters to honor her on Mothers Day. Nearly 150 quilts made by Mary were on display during a two day quilt show at Minglewood Retreat in Lafayette, Indiana.

I am making a quilt for the first time, self-taught, I am wondering what the material is inside of the quilt. I have the fabric for the outside and everything else, but can't figure out what goes inside of it to save my life.
It's called "batting" and you can but it at most fabric stores. It comes in either cotton or synthetic, it will be rolled up almost like a sleeping bag, and it will be in a clear plastic bag. You buy it in sizes like if you were buying bedsheets, and you can buy it in different weights.
I often just use an old blanket when I make a quilt, a great way to recycle/reuse and a blanket makes a nice weight. I've also used old table clothes and sheets inside a quilt for a lighter weight quilt when finished.
I know what cotton jersey, cotton poplin and cotton flannel is but what is cotton quilting fabric?
The best way to experience the difference in the cotton choices you named would be if you could see and feel the difference.
Cotton jersey, as you know is stretchy, mainly used in T-shirts, sometimes in stretchy bedding.
Cotton poplin is normally of medium to heavy weight, a durable fabric, mainly used in clothing manufacturing. It is stiffer than quilting cotton.
Flannel is a very soft, woven fabric that is napped on one side. Quilters tend to shy away from flannel, because most flannels seem to be a bit stretchier than cotton quilting fabrics, due to the differences in the weave of the warp and weft threads (warp threads are the lengthwise yarns through which the weft is woven) and the fabric can shrink differently in the length and cross wise direction when washed. Some quilters use good quality flannel in their quilting, but recommend pre-washing the fabric, before cutting the shapes and sewing it, to pre-shrink the fabric and not have surprises later. To put some more body back into the fabric to make it easier for handeling/piecing you can spray starch it.
Cotton fabrics for quilting are normally carried in quilt shops and online quilt stores that specialize in quilting fabrics, in a wide variety of prints. These are of a light to medium weight woven fabrics, that normally have a print on one side. I say normally, because you can also purchase hand dyed fabrics for quilt making (I dye my own fabrics for this) which would be usable from either side, because the color bonds to the fibers, coloring the fabric all the way through on both sides. Then there are also cotton batiks, which have a denser weave and would be harder to hand quilt, but they are fantastic for hand applique, because these don’t ravel on the edges as much when you turn under the edges. Batiks, due to the way they are fabricated, also don’t have a “right or wrong” side like the printed fabrics, so they can be used either way. http://www.dharmatrading.com/info/batik.html
