I use W&N all the time and actually like the weight. BUT, a friend uses the Quilters Dream 100% cotton and I will say it does have a very nice 'hand' to it. When I finish off the bolt of W&N that I have I will probably try the QD myself. Can you possibly get a small package of each batt and see which one you prefer? Make some placemats or table runners and see what you think.
