Funny, I recently had this same dilemma. I just but the binding on my grandson’s quilt this weekend. I used Cuddle for the backing, I did not use batting based on feedback I got from members here on the QB. The Cuddle is substantial and since they live in Key West the quilt would have been too heavy for his crib. I was fearful that it wouldn’t feel like a quilt but it turned out wonderfully and cuddly.
