i have always used warm/natural for my batting and the only time I had problems with the bearding is when I used a needle that was too big - once I changed to the next size down, it didn't happen anymore.
Congrats on your second quilt!! Mine was a pinwheels quilt and my DH's favorite one to this day!

Another advantage to using cotton Warm & Natural or Warm & White is that when you wash it the first time, the batting puffs up a little bit, and shrinks a little bit, giving your quilt a "used" and "antique" look. I think it looks soft and cuddly. I have never had a problem with bearding with it, either. I have never used poly batting.
