Which batting are you using? There are a lot of poly battings out there. I used to use Mountain Mist - a very light weight batting and I am not sure if there is any scrim in it - and it drapes very well. (I quit using it because I didn't like to deal with the very thin spots) I have been using Warm Blend (50/50) by Warm and Natural - good price and has worked very well with a respectable drape. It's easiest for me if I can buy it by the bolt. But I did just buy a couple of wool battings from Hobbs to try. I do not like 100% cotton - it just didn't feel right to my touch. Since I live in So. Cal. I want a thin quilt - but not too thin - and I don't want it to shrink when I wash it, and I do not want to have to wash my batting.

Did you by any chance read the label on the quilt at Cracker Barrel to see if they have polyester in the quilt? My sister bought me one of those "hand made" quilts at Walmart - there was a piece that became unstitched and the batting looked like the Mountain Mist type.
