it is the dream battings that i use also...i love all of the dream company batting; dream poly, dream wool (my favorite) dream orient,
they are all wonderful to work with and i think worth every cent of the extra cost. i do not know about any bamboo batts from joannes....i avoid that store like the plague!

The bamboo blend from Quilters Dream Batting is called Dream Orient. It's lovely. I has a beautiful drape, very smooth, really feels like fabric. It is a blend of cotton, silk, and bamboo, and a tiny bit of tencel.

It is much more drapeable than W & N. If your project is a bed quilt or sofa throw, I would definitely recommend the Dream Orient.
