2 layers of batting
I know a lot of you layer 2 layers of hobbs 80/20. Has anyone ever layered a cotton on the bottom and then a poly on top of that? I was thinking it might give me a puffy(trapanto) look. Without doing all the extra work. Any thoughts?

I just finished 4 quilts exactly like that, with some custom quilting I think it would look very much like trapunto, I just used a panto, I used the 2 batts because it was memory quilts made from the reciepients (sp) daddy's shirts and I wanted them to be very very warm . I haven't posted pictures yet, I need to get that done.

I have done exactly what you describe on many quilts. One layer Cotton and one Poly. I love the extra bit a loft , warmth , and dimension to the quilting.
Make a small sandwich with the battings you are thinking about using to see if its the effects you are hoping for.
