Connecting Threads has it online if you don't have a vendor nearby.
    That would likely be the best choice, then, for this particular quilt.

    I use Polydown for my kid's quilts as it quilts, washes and wears well. I find 80/20 a rather heavy batt and your little guy might be too hot. Even Charismah on our board who is absolutely a wonderful quilter often uses Polydown as her batting of choice.
