Exactly my thought!! I nearly had a heart attack in 2007 when my queen-sized Cottage Garden quilt came back from the LAQ here in Virginia and found she'd used W and N cotton batting, which I found to be the heaviest quilt I'd ever owned. I was aware of WN, but had never used it because, until then, my batting experiences were in Texas where most of us used Hobbs cotton batting made in Waco TX. Now I use Quilters Dream cotton or wool and my shoulders don't complain every time I have to fold the quilts.
