I quilted it with a medium to large meander so the quilting is not the reason for the stiffness. Also, there is not any extra puffiness on my quilt. I would go with a extra high loft batting with no tight quilting if you want puffiness and soft drape.
I found the exact same thing. It was a baby quilt, and it turned out too stiff to be used that way. I did give it as a gift, but I think the new parents either used it as a wall hanging or a floor quilt. I won't do that again unless I [U]want it stiffer. I used Warm and natural as well.
