As a suggestion, I would not use bamboo batting, which comes as a 50% bamboo/50% cotton mix. I tried to hand quilt a wall hanging using bamboo/cotton, and it was so awful that I resorted to machine stitching. The bamboo is very fibrous and makes hand stitching more than difficult. I resorted to machine stitching on that, and was pleasantly surprised to find it no more difficult than Hobbs 80/20, and it made for beautiful stitching. I have since made a lap quilt using bamboo/cotton, and it's gorgeous: lightweight yet cool in the summer, warm in the winter and very easy to care for. It's great stuff, but just not for hand quilting.
