Where I live, the climate is similar to that of Florida in the USA..
while on a short visit here I need to buy batting for 2 queen size quilts..never bought any as these are my first attempts..please suggest what batting I must buy as our winters are short and not too cold .
also will probably be washing them at the end of each winter before putting them away coz its dusty..besides little g'kids, dogs & cats lay claim to our beds ...and hearts
oh ..another pt.. will hv to hand quilt..a simple stitch in the ditch is all i will be able to do.
and a heartfelt " thank you " in advance for any suggestions given.

I use Warm & Natural. Like it very much . The quilts on my beds get washed about every two weeks , an are still holding up. So that is what I suggest. Good luck with your quilts. joyce j

I also mostly use Warm & Natural. Sometimes I use Hobbs Polydown 80/20.
I have tried Quilter's Dream and that is also a lovely product. It all comes down to personal preferance. Hope this helps a little

I use warm and natural and hobbs heirloom. They both are not to heavy of a batting and will work for warm climates. Hand quilting will be fine on them also.
Most of my quilts are warm and natural and I am a washer. I can't tell you how many times some of my quilts have been washed. They hold up great. Good luck with your quilts!!!

Warm and natural is good choice as contrary to its name its really not that warm. Warm and natural does not require alot of quilting( 10 inches) . I also like Cream Rose or White Rose made by Mountain Mist for very light weight cotton batting, but it requires quilting every 6 inches. White or cream rose are wonderful for hand quilting.

How about using flannel as batting? Just a thought.

Warm and Natural should be your very last choice!! It's hard to hand quilt and it's heavy. I'd go with Quilter's Dream's thinnest weight or one of the newer soy-cotton or bamboo-cotton battings. I just bought some Pellon Legacy Soy-Cotton batting and it's very thin and very lightweight. You can quilt it up to 8 inches apart. One of my friends had a quilt fairly heavily quilted by a longarm quilter with the soy-cotton batting and it's still quite soft and drapeable.

I love the Quilter's Dream batting and the different weights you can get it in. I usually use the select weight...but you can use whatever is your preference.

I prefer Quilter's Dream. It is very lightweight and great for hand quilting.
