Thanks for all the feedback! Does anyone know of a site that compares quilts with different battings? I will have to google...
I have a king size quilt that I will be quilting soon, my first attempt on a long arm. I will have to research a bit, but I think I will try out an 80/20, or maybe doubling up a poly and a cotton. I like heavier quilts, not really enjoying the flat look of the four quilts I have completed using just a cotton batting. I think three of them are Quilter's Dream and then of course there is the W&N one I wrote about here.

I just ordered a queen sized Warm and Plush from Amazon...this is why I LOVE this board!! I wouldn't have given this a try without all the discussion. I always learn something from the Quilting Board.

I am making a quilt with Warm and Plush. It's really nice. My longarmer loved working with it too. It is made by the same company and is quite a bit thicker. I'll post after I get the binding on. The quilting really shows up.

I totally agree. When you get to see it being used by the recipients and not for a mechanic drape on a car or truck. It's a little thin. Maybe it is just much more relaxed (softer) from use.
