I am not sure if I understand why anyone would use a different batting for a gift or a charity quilt. I consider ALL my quilts as gift to someone no matter if I sell them or gift them to someone I know or a strange thru organizations. I was taught by Harriet Hargrave to buy the best you can afford for fabric and batting. If I give a charity quilt thru an organization, I don't want it to start falling apart in a few years later. Just something to think about. We should take great pride in our workmanship and giving to others that may be in need.
