Do a bit of homework for which its the best wool batting as some are not machine washable, the quilting distance can vary, and shrinkage can vary quite a bit.
Made a log cabin quilt with wool batting (washable). Very warm, but breathes which is nice.
Or you might make a pieced duvet cover for a down comforter. Or how about a really puffy polyester batting and then tie it. That will be cuddly and warm too. Happy Quilting.
