It's called Batting by the Bolt, and it comes 62 inches wide, which would be perfect for Project Linus quilts. The distributer told me to ask my local quilt shop to order it for me, but despite several emails, she's dragging her feet and says she's still looking into it (I've emailed her the link).
I'm wondering if anyone has ever used or purchased this particular batting. And to the original poster, SCORE!
Are you asking her to buy this and keep it in her inventory or did you offer to buy the whole bolt?
She may not want to add another item to her inventory that may take some time for her to sell.
The whole bolt could be split with another quilter which would cut your dollar outlay. Retail on this item would be around $8.30/yard. If she would give you a discount for buying the whole bolt, possibly around $6.00/yd, this comes 15yd./bolt. That would be around $90.00. Just a thought
