Batting recommendation
I'm making a lap quilt for my husband and need to figure out what type of batting to use. Requirements in priority order:
- Keep the quilt as cool as possible (we live in Texas, so this quilt will be more for comfort than for warmth).
- This is a dark quilt with lots of medium and dark browns and saturated blue/greens, so I want to avoid bearding.
- It'll be machine quilted.
- It'll be washed a handful of times per year.
Would skipping the batting and going to a flannel back make any sense? There'd be little loft to the quilting, right? Think that would look funny?
