NJ Quilter

I use W&N batting all the time. Everyone I have given a quilt to says that the quilt is too warm for them to use in the summer but the LOVE it come winter! For my niece who's bedroom is exceptionally cold, I did a flannel backing with W&N. Warm doesn't even come close to describing that quilt!

I use wool batting on all my quilts that are used for blankets or lap quilts. It makes them fluffier than cotton batting and is very warm. Shrinks the same as cotton batting...very little...not noticable. Cost is same as cotton batting. I love how warm it makes my quilts. I only use cotton for wall hangings or runners.

If you are looking for warmth .. WOOL batting! If cost is a large concideration , go with poly! I sometimes double bat , a layer of warm and natural and a layer of poly... but would not want to put that combination through my machine so I send those out to a Long Arm Pro.

I think I'd use Quilter's Dream Poly or Quilter's Dream Green or wool. All three are very warm and don't have the pilling problems a fleece or flannel backing could have over time.
