If the quilt is mostly whites, etc., then the emphasis will be on the quilting so I would use a batting that will emphasize the quilting like a Hobbs 80/20 or polydown. W&W is too flat for beautiful quilting. IMHO The color will not show thru even if it were black. I would opt for something beautiful in soft colors to keep the quilt light and soft. and bind it in same. I am looking forward to seeing this quilt.
