Good morning - I could really use some advice on choosing batting for a top I'm piecing. The pattern is a 4-patch with 1/2" sashing, the colors are a mix of pale peaches/pinks/mauve/cream/red, and about half of the fabrics are very lightweight. Two are very thin Aunt Graces and one is, believe it or not, a thin seersucker.
I've been fussing with the color mix on and off for a few years, torn between trying to solve the puzzle and win and just tossing the whole thing out. I can definitely say that i will never again work with so little contrast. Or with peach, for that matter.
But, in for a penny, in for a pound - I am piecing it now, and, visualizing the finish line, realize that there must be some general rule about choosing the batting. Should I be going for the lightest cotton Quilter's Dream, or would something a bit more substantial be better? I am mostly concerned about durability.
Thanks for any help you can send my way.
hugs,
Charlotte
