Good Morning - I just finished a flannel quilt for my family in COLD Fargo, NC. Any recommendations regarding batting to make sure this quilt keeps them warm?

I've made several flannel quilts - most often I've used Warm and Natural cotton. It makes for a heavy quilt, but very warm. I've also used a thinner batt my LQS sells - not as warm. I hear it is very cold up there in Fargo - I'm sure your friend will appreicate a cozy quilt!

I use warn and natural, and quilt on both sides of each seam to ensure it doesn't ravel.

If you have used flannel for top and bottom, I don't think you will have a problem with anyone keeping warm.

When I made my daughters rag quilt I used a poly batting in the middle, and the flannel was both sides. She sweats under the thing it's so warm.

I am of the old school about wool. I can't use it cause it gives me hives if it touches my skin. However, in batting it wouldn't be a problem. Question? I thought wool always shrank when washed. How can you use it in a quilt?
