You can do it old way:

1) Make your patch(es).
2) Put them into debian/patches.
3) Put the name(s) of your patch(es) into debian/patches/series in the
desired order.
4) quilt will take care of the rest.

Or you can do it new way:

1) Change the source as appropriate.
2) Invoke dpkg-source --commit.
3) quilt will take care of the rest.
