A dear friend asked me to make a queen sized quilt for him to give his wife for Christmas... but they prefer the "puffier" quilts. I have always used the Warn & White batting which is 100% cotton. It gives nice warmth but isn't "puffy" - in JoAnn's yesterday, I was looking at the "puffy" batting but it is 100% polyester. I was chatting with another quilter there and she said she didn't like the polyester because it doesn't hold up as well and down the road would start bunching up in the quilt. I also noticed it said "quilt 2" - 4 inches". I am going to do a simple block with embroidery in the center block and could STD along the sashing to accomplish the 2" - 4", but my question is - Is it possible to get "puffy" 100% cotton batt? Any suggestions welcome.
