I think this is such a unique idea. I'm puzzled by the deteriorating batting. I have used traditional poly batting which is very thin for as long as I've been quilting. My quilts are over 20 years old and are still going through the washer and dryer. Some are tied and some are hand stitched. A few are machine quilted.
