batting question, if you will
#2
Hey, Happy Birthday to your dh - mine is that day also! I use only Warm & White (100%) cotton, which I get from Joann's. I recently used Warm & Natural because that was all I could get in a king size and I didn't want to have to seam it, but I didn't like it nearly as much as the W & W.

Thanks everyone, that should help a bunch! I guess I have been learning about quilting, but not really knowing a whole lot about batting. I have been using 80/20 cotton/poly but it is not "fluffy" so much.

Hobbs Polydown is an easy to handle and quilt batting. It produces a soft fluffy quilt that washes and wears well. I just paid $164 Canadian for a 30 yard roll which works out to $5.46 per yard or about $15 for a large quilt. It machine quilts very well and is easy to unroll and flatten out. I seldom find any thicker or thinner areas which is a problem with some bats and it retains its loft after repeated washings. Our guild uses it for all of our Community quilts.
