Hi, I just purchased some batting today at Joanne's and was not happy about the price or the selection. Fortunately, I had a 60 percent off coupon that I printed off the internet from their site. I wanted white, as the quilt has a pieced backing that is mostly white, and their is a lot of white in the front as well. I prefer cotton or bamboo. They do not carry bamboo, I would of settled on a poly cotton blend but they did not have that in white. I settled on white that is not as thick as I would of liked it and it was 10.99 per yard and I needed 3 yards. Pretty expensive, and thank goodness I had a coupon. Why is batting getting so pricey?
