Comment about batting and a question
I love to look at quilt magazines, quilt books, pics on here of quilts made by members, and all things quilty. But one thing that frustrates me, when considering a quilt I'd like to make, is that the instructions for a quilt OR descriptions of a quilt that someone has made, very seldom (to almost never) talks about the batting they've used.
To get the look of the quilting that is seen in the various pictures of mags and individuals, one must know the batting. Not knowing what has been used is so frustrating to me. And I would think that the proper batting for the look one is trying to achieve would be essential.
Does anyone know why they do not list the batting in the materials list? Because we all know that we can change anything listed to our own preferences. But having that starting point would sure make decisions easier for many of us.
