I was just looking at the Mountain Mist Blue cotton batting on the internet that one of you suggested. It sounds like an easy batting to quilt through...and it said it gives the quilt an antique look since it is a thinner batting. I might try that too if I don't want to use an expensive wool batting for some quilts. oh my, oh my...I am excited to try your suggestions. The internet said I can find the MM blue batting at Kmart? I think it said 16.99 for a queen size batting...
