Batting Selection
Hello!
I wanted some opinions- what type(s) of batting are your favorite?
My great-grandmother would use Army surplus wool blankets (which, before being turned into quilts, weighed 3-5 lbs for a lap blanket!), so I have always been very fond of a crazy heavy quilt, however my husband absolutely hates heavy blankets.
The quilts I've made for my nieces/nephew (my husband's side), I've bought Pellon Natures Touch Natural Blend 80/20 because they didn't want heavy blankets, and I found a great price online from Walmart. For my aunt's chemo blanket, I found a wool blanket just like her Grandmother would use. (She talked about chemo making her constantly cold, and she adores how much like a 'hug' the heavy blanket is.) I'm not great at machine quilting, but I do a lot of straight line, so I usually don't worry too much about the loft (I lack a personal preference).
Anyway, I was just curious about everybody's preference: What is your ideal batting and why?
