I just finished my second quilt using bamboo batting. I love the feel - lush and had no problems with the actual quilting, but it sheds like crazy. The one I just finished is a black, white and red string quilt. I had to take a toothbrush and brush each couple of feet or so of fabric before stitching, so I wouldn't sew the fluff into it. Washed it and machine dried it and gave it a good going over with a lint roller and it was just fine. Gave it to my friend on Monday and she is delighted with it. It is a lap quilt and I didn't really want much weight to it. But I won't use it again.
