I agree with all this. If you want a heavier quilt, use Warm and Natural 100% cotton. I like my quilts a little lighter weight so I use Mountain Mist Cream Rose 100% cotton (I buy at JoAnn's) or Hobbs 100% cotton. Although, account for the shrikage when you make your quilt so that you make it bigger so that when it shrinks, it will be the size you want. I just made two different quilts and used these two different battings to "test" them because I also really like the old fashioned crinkled look. Both brands of these battings both said shrinkage would be 3-5% but when I washed them in warm water and dried them dry, they actually shranki about 10%. Therefore, the end results were that I had quilts that were smaller than I expected them to be after I washed and dried them. Good Luck.
