For Hobbs this one says can be quilted 8 inches apart, where the 'plain' needs to be quilted 4 inches apart. If you want a softer drape get the one without scrim, but if it is going to be used and washed a lot get the scrim...

You had me somewhat stymied in what I understood about W&N, so I checked their site.

So for others, you might want to check the Warm Company's site for clarifications ....

W&N is available in both yardage and in the bags.
It is 100% cotton and can be quilted as far as 10" apart.

WArm bond is the 80cotton/20poly product, 6" quilting, yardage only

An interesting fact ... the 100% cotton W&N has a 3% shrink rate.
Whereas they show the 80/20 has a 5% shrink!
