I always use warm and natural or warm and white. I bought some at 50% off at Joann last week. You can get quite a few lap or crib size out of 3 yards. If I get in in the package, I spray it with water mist and put in dryer for a few minutes. I went to local quilt shop before I bought the batting this time and looked at everything they sold. They honestly did not have anything I would have replaced W&N with. Still want to try the Hobbs that many quilter like.
