Wool batting, polyester batting trapunto
I’m making a quilt with an applique peacock for a friend of mine. I want to do two layers of batting One will be warm and natural for the whole quilt Then for the peacock I was going to add a wool batting for just the peacock and outline the feathers in superior metallic thread. I thought I had some wool batting but I don’t. I have very puffy polyester batting that might be suitable. What do you think?
if I use wool batting should I prewash the batting? Everything else is prewashed. . I don’t want the quilt to be wrinkled if it needs to be washed. It’s a wall hanging arty quilt.
thanks for your sage advice.
