This particular quilt beards through the top. The cottons used were all good quality, even the backing. It was a quilt to commemorate my husband's Navy career and it's disheartening to have it beard. We use it daily and just figure we'll use another blanket under it when the batt is gone.
I feel very lucky that I have not had this problem (tho I will admit I keep few of what I make). I certainly did not avoid the problem by buying the right stuff, cause I didn't even know to worry about it!
