Many prefer the all cotton batting for the antique wrinkly look. The cotton battins made now are soft, drape well and are easy to hand quilt. As one who teaches hand quilting, I would not recommend Warm and Natural for hand quilting. Some use it successfully and like it but I believe it has drawbacks unless one is an accomplished hand quilter. Guess my recommendation for W-n-N is to try it on a small piece first (pot holder size). But I don't believe you will get the look you want because it has a poly scrim inside and is needlepunched. The Dream Cotton is a nice hand quilting batt as well as the Mountain Mist. I also read that the bamboo batt is easy to hand quilt as well as wool. But for the antique look, then stick with the all cotton. Most of the 50?50 (cotton/poly) batts work well for hand quilting.
