I would layer with a thinner batting than Warm and Natural. Quilter's Dream request would be a wonderfully soft, thin, and sturdy batting to use. It is needlepunched, so does not require super close quilting.

Edit: I used to use Warm and Natural, but find that its drape is stiffer than I like (although it does soften up somewhat with washing), especially on small quilts. My absolute favorite for small quilts is Mountain Mist Blue Ribbon 100% cotton; however, it requires quilting every 2" or so. The QD is a great substitute and does not require such close quilting. Request weight is thin and lightweight; select weight is a little thicker. All cotton battings will soften more with each washing, making them really wonderful over the years.
