Help, please quilting pattern and best soft batting buy
I am a fairly new quilter. Can someone please suggest a quilting pattern for a 15" log cabin block? Also, which is the best batting to buy for softness and warmth? Has anyone tried the bamboo batting? Thank you for your advice.

I guess my question was not too clear. I have already done the piecing, but I am needing to know what design to ask my longarmer to use. Ideas?

I think the design depends partly on the setting of the log cabin quilt. Can you post a picture? On this quilt I did feathers in the light strips - http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t237281.html

Your quilt is gorgeous. I can't post a picture yet because I haven't sewn the blocks together. I was just going to order the batting and backing so that I would be ready when it is done (hopefully this week).

I can't help you with any ideas of quilting designs but I will let you know I just had a quilt done with Hobbs 80/20 and it was so soft. I also have used Quilters Dream batting and that was very nice too. Good luck on your quilting decisions.

So there are long armers who won't work with certain batting? Is it because of their machine or just their preference. I know a lot has to do with location of quilts recipient's warmth but is it up to the longarmer or the piecer? Just curious!
