I am really interested in the wool batting too. The first quilt I did was with a LQS, and they were recommending Warm and Natural then. I've done 4-5 baby quilts; lots of wall hangings, placemats, and table runners; and 3 lap quilts with the W&N. I'm not unhappy with it, but I wish it had a bit more loft. I used a polyester batt on the last quilt I did, a twin-size casual quilt for my 26 year old son. I like the look of it, but it was a bear to quilt. It kept creeping on me, even with lots of pins and basting with a water soluble thread.

I did buy a number of batting samples and did some simple quilting on them, but I found the 18" square didn't give me enough information! I have two "special" lap quilts/wall hangings that I've been waiting to quilt until I decide on a batting. For one of them I have bought a wool batt and for the other I'm going to look for the 80/20 that so many recommend. Who has a good source for it?
