I have made several things, tho not a quilt, from satin. Satin is a type of weave, and can be made from cotton, wool, silk, synthetics, etc. Most important is to make sure your satin is compatible for washing with your other fabric. Don't use it with anything like cotton without preshrinking your cotton first. Most satin in the stores is synthetic and will not shrink like your cotton, etc. Use pinking shears, and a TON of patience. Yes, it will slide while sewing. You will need something to "unslick" the shiny side; starch might work. Go slow.
