[QUOTE=Garden Gnome;7753777]If your main concern is the crinkly look that happens after a new quilt is washed, you might want to try pre-shrinking the batting before using it. (Soak in bath tub, drip dry, then finish in dryer) I think the batting shrinks a lot more than the quilt top or backing, so that causes most of the crinkle if the quilt is first washed after quilting it. I keep thinking I am going to do this, but I have begun to value the crinkled look more, so...
Regarding the shrinkage, you may want to check out this batting which came out a while back... Quilter's Dream Blend for Machines, 70% cotton and 30% polyester. There is no crinkling and it shows the quilting very nicely.
