In addition to the already posted links, you can also look at quilt's
README.source for help with exactly this problem:

http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/quilt.git;a=blob;f=debian/README.source;h=8646078929b007725a93a4adf08b2155f8161041;hb=HEAD

If you use the above method, you will use your own editor to make
patches. As quilt's manpage reveals, quilt looks to $EDITOR to see
which editor to use. Set that in .bashrc.
