I, too, use the W&N from JoAnns. I like 100% natural fibers - cotton; wool; silk; whatever - in my quilts. You will get more loft with a poly or poly-blend batt. Depends on your personal preferences. Quilter's Dream 100% cotton is a very nice batting as well. Does have a very nice 'drape' to it - more so than W&N. When I exhaust the roll of W&N I'll be trying the QD myself. My friend uses it all the time and it does make for an, initially, softer quilt. The W&N is stiff to work with but does soften up over time and repeated washings. Also holds up very well.
