OMG, I never even knew they tell you that. I never read past what type of batting it is.
Unfortunately I can not get cotton batting here (I live in Argentina, Yes Argentina!!) and it is way too expensive for me to ship so I make due with what I can get. Lately I have been using Polar Fleece because it is about the same weight and thickness of the cotton batting I am use to. My only other choice is polyester and I hate quilting with that stuff.
Thanks for the tip. When I come back to the US in July I am going to buy two or three packages and bring it back with me and use some for this quilt. I will certainly check the packages this time.
