I used a single layer bat of Warm & Natural cotton batting. I did stitch-in-the-ditch quilting on it, and for the inner body of it simply stictched between the 7 rows of braids, which are 6" wide each. This quilt went together really fast. I started it Thursday night and finished it this afternoon. The piecing of the braids is super easy since you're only working with 2 shapes - the left braid and the right braid, and the braids work up really quick.
