I've done QAYG blocks with several types of batting, including Warm and Natural and polyester. I like Warm and Natural the best for QAYG blocks. The cotton grabs the block, providing more stability and it is very easy to sew.
I find flower head pins are extremely useful and, for my money, the best for quilting. Yes, they are expensive, but worth it. Also get yourself a metal seam measurer, one of those which have various measurements such as 1/4:, 3/8", 5/8", etc. They are not expensive and I often use mine to check for accuracy.
