I use Quilter's Dream washable wool batting. It is very warm and doesn't shrink when washed.

I too wanted a very warm quilt, and had mine quilted with wool batting. It worked and I love how it looks compared to cotton or poly batting.

I use wool batting with a light flannel backing. Keeps my 86 year old mother warm.

I just made a "rag quilt" for my grandson. They are moving to MN from Louisiana and will need warm quilts. To make it I used 12 inch squares of flannel and a 10 inch sq of batting. You sandwich the sq of batting between the two of flannel and sew a X from corner to corner, then stitch about 70 of those sandwiches together for the quilt. I used a half inch seam, and then you clip the seam allowances so that they fray. I'm sure there are a lot of tutes on this site that can give you better instructions if you are interested. While that may not sound very feminine, there are a lot of beautiful floral and marbled flannels out there.

A rag quilt is wonderful .... especially if you use flannel for the front and back and also for the "batting". These truly are my family's favorite "cuddling" quilts.
|
when I want a quilt to be extra warm and cozy, I use corduroy - easy to work with and very warm.
|
Again, thanks for all the info and insights......Will post it when I get it made ........Rita

Flannel and Wool batting inside sound very warm and cuddly.
