Default wool batting for quilting

Hello all you fine quilters out there. I was just wondering if any of you have ever tried real wool for batting in quilts. I was just carding up some wool and thought that I would take the carded wool and just use that in a block, quilt and when it is washed, it would automatically felt. I don't see why it would be any different than the warm and natural or polyester batting in a quilt. I have about 7 bags of wool ready to be washed, carded and spun, but instead of spinning it, just use it in a block, do lots of quilting on it and then just do quilt as you go. I was just wondering if any of you quilters out there have ever tried it.
