In fact, allof my family seems to prefer a think warm poly. I would think you should try it. MAke a tv watching lap quilt and see how you like the feel etc.
Let us know about how yo do.

Could you tell us why wool is a triple no for you? I recently splurged on a package of king sized wool batting and don't want to waste it or ruin a quilt. I would appreciate any info from anyone on their experience with wool. I have only heard good things.
I used wool on a king-sized quilt that I did both machine quilting and FMQ on, and I loved it to work with, and I love using it on the bed. Some people might be allergic to it, I suppose. It is pretty pricey, however.
