If you want to get the antique "crinkly" look, use a cotton batting. For machine quilting I use Quilters Dream Cotton Batting Request or Select loft. Quilt it up bind it and wash/dry and it has a wonderful look. I have never hand quilted with this.
For hand quilting Dierdra McElroy recommends Mountain Mist Quilt Light batting. It is polyester and probably won't shrink.
Hope this helps, Kanoelani
