    I'm a Warm and Natural fan. I even use it for handqulting with no problems.

    I LOVE the batts from the dream company- also the Hobbs Heirloom batts are nice- hobbs heirloom 80/20 is a good choice for the quilting you describe-there are a couple different (lofts/weights) and i imagine you want something thin for table runners/home dec quilting
    i made a couple table runners with warm & natural and was very unhappy when they were washed- but it is my last choice for any quilting projects
    i try new batts when ever i see a new one i haven't tried yet- but for the go to most of the time i go with batts from the Dream company (wool is my fav but not the right choice for your project-good for soft fluffy bed quilts)
    if i am not using a dream batt i'm using a hobbs batt- unless i'm trying something new.
    many of my customers use warm & natural so i do quilt with it alot- but pretty much seldom in my own quilts
    hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy

    I love warm and natural and warm and white.
    Desiderata (Max Ehrmann) - Walk placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

    I buy batts for easier storage and queens with the occasional king. I cut them as I would the rolls. When using only part of a batt, I take a pernanent marker and put the scrap size on the outside of the bag and tape or staple it shut. I have a list of the size pieces on my pinup board and when I do a baby or table runner, I check the list and use from the scrap pieces.[/QUOTE]

    I'm a Quilters dream fan. I love this idea for organizing scraps.

    Seems like any time I want to use the coupon for batting at Joann's the batting is on sale and I can't use the coupon! I like Hobbs 80/20 best. Got queen size packages of it at the Houston Quilt Show for ... really good price ... can't remember now what "teen" it was ... $13? $17? $19? But it was a good price!
    So many quilts, so little time.
