The batting I would choose for this type of quilt would probably be Hobbs polydown just because it is so soft. I believe quilting lines should be about 6" apart (or closer, of course) for this batting.
Thank you for the heads up on the batting. I will use Hobbs... have used that in the past and liked it a lot.
