Is it just be or is it a DREAM to work with? No snagging, easy to manipulate, easy to cut. Seemed warmer in my lap when I was machine quilting it.

And in the end after I washed the quilt it just seemed to have a better loft, not to mention the quilt felt more "solid"

I agree the stuff is awesome to work with.. I do a LOT of charity quilts for the soldiers with a group of ladies... ... and would not consider using something less because it is charity.... that is one of our pet peeves.. actually ... all our quilts are of the quality you would give a good friend. I have been in groups where the quality was awful and quilts made of dollar fabrics because they are JUST for charity. put your heart into every quilt if you would not like to receive it ........probably it is better not to give it. HMHO :)

Perhaps it's all in my mind, but I'm thinking perhaps on "special" non charity quilts I will go with cotton, OR if they have a good sale and it's only a few dollars more I most certainly will pop for the 100% natural cotton, it just seemed to be a nicer product.
