Depends on which batting was used. Warm and natural is every 10 inches, so a 10 inch square would be sufficient. If you took it to an experienced long arm quilter, they should have said something if they thought that the quilting you requested was too light for that batt. You could call them and ask exactly what was used and look up the requirements online to double check.
