Wool gets my nod every time!

In my recent attendance at MQX, several of the instructors shared that they use both a cotton batting and a wool batting. It also gives more loft when FMQ and the designs pop more.

I have had quilts done with cotton and wool, wool on the top and cotton on the bottom next to the backing. They are quite warm.
I am interested in the Duvet cover that Jennifer 23 mentioned. I grew up with fluffy quilts, and have not really seen them since. |
Whichever batting you choose, I would also suggest using a nice thick flannel for the backing. I made a quilt for my niece with cotton (W&N) batting and the flannel backing. She's nice and toasty in her bedroom that's been known to have frost on the walls in the winter. I used Moda flannel and would highly recommend it.

Use a wool batting...warm in winter, and breathable in the summer. I think Dream makes the best wool batting that I've found.

Ditto. Happy to see you!!

Made note of this. Since most of my quilts are being made for Northern Indiana and Michigan.

Consider a relatively new batting by W & N; it's called Warm n Plush. It is a bit thicker, it gives a nice quilting definition.
