I would want to know where he is going to sell the quilts and for how much. Sounds like he might have his head in the clouds. How many of us, when showing a hand made item to someone, have heard "Oh, you are so talented, you should open a store."
It's not that simple. Selling quilts is tough. Does he have a retail outlet already or is he going to sell them to stores. I think I would say, "you can pay me X for my time, then you have the quilt to do with as you wish."

FINGERS CROSSED THAT THIS WILL PROFITABLE ADVENTURE FOR BOTH OF YOU.
Start out by giving him 1 or 2 quilts- take photos of each one you give him - remember slow and easy wins the race

So, he's going to buy the fabric and you're going to do the work.
He's going to pay himself back for the fabric and then split the proceeds? Is he going to pay you for the work before splitting the proceeds?
Did he say 50/50? Or did he just say "split".
Get all the details in writing and make sure you understand how everything will be split. Good luck and congratulations.
