I have deeply researched batting!

I am with you! The batting seems very expensive and hate that. I have learned to watch Amazon. their prices change and I buy it when its on a down price. I have also learned to buy it in a roll (if you are going to use that much) it is alot to put out at once, but its much cheaper that way for me

I have used the blizzard fleece from JoAnns as batting. Watch for a sale and buy a whole bolt of white. I donated some quilts that were going to a womens shelter. I used the fleece. I figured it made it more durable.

Check on OVERSTOCK.com. I got a whole roll 90" wide x 20 yds (w/coupon in an email) for $77.00 shipping free. BUT they have single bags as well. Also I often buy Hobbs' 80/20 off Craftsy as their prices are also terrific.
