That is a wonderful price. I recently bought a box with my sister, and it will probably take 4 or 5 years to use it. That last box took that long. It was just fine.

I get mine from Marshall Dry Goods, $110 for 96" . even with the shipping it is a lot cheaper, and the quality is just as good if not better.

if batting went bad our quilts would be an exercise in uselessness.

I also got an email from Joann's, (get one every day) yesterday & the "Warm & Natural" batting on sale for $209.99, free shipping if you used the coupon code. Then add tax. Can't drive to a Joann's and save that kind of money. It will last me a couple of years as it is the 90" x 40 yards bolt. Joann's is the only online store I know of that offers free shipping & that means a lot to me.

Same here. I bought a partial roll (not even a whole roll) a few years ago and it sits in the corner of my room. In our old house we had issues with mice so I put a black trash bag over the bottom part of the roll. Never had a problem. Before I did that I had to throw away a bunch of batting due to those little jerk mice.
