My DIL asked me to make her a queen size bed quilt, she's paying for the fabrics, etc. She'd like it to be heavier than the kids quilts I've made for her DD's, my DGD's. For baby and kids quilts I usually use Mountain Mist poly as is very lightweight and I don't think babies and kids need heavy quilts. DIL intends to use the quilt as a bed covering and for warmth. Most times I use Hobbs 80/20, prewashing it first. I was thinking I'd use Quilters Dream Poly as it low loft but a heavier weight poly. There is also Quilter's Dream Deluxe but from the description I think it's more for tying than quilting. Or:
Should I skip the poly and use Warm and Natural, prewashing it against too much shrinkage when the quilt is washed?
