I've painted fabric to make pillows but never a quilt. I used acrylic paint mixed with a special substance to make it adhere to fabric. I like the way it turned out. The only drawback is it makes the fabric somewhat stiff. So if you were painting heavily on the fabric it might be too stiff. I can't remember what the stuff you mix with the paint is called but it is sold with the paints in Joann's, Michaels, etc. It's just a clear liquid and inexpensive, like the acrylic paint itself.
