It's a bit more expensive (can't get it at Joann's with a 40% coupon) but when I have made a really nice quilt using good fabric it's worth it.

I agree with her totally. I only use wool batting and love how it looks and feels. I use to use 100% cotton but my quilts were stiff and very thin. Now, all my quilts with wool batting look lovely and feel wonderful.
