Quilts for kids batting
I am getting ready to make my first Quilts for Kids quilt. What a wonderful organization! Just wondering what batting you all would suggest for this. Would polyester work? Also, not to sound petty or selfish, is the shipping, etc. tax deductible as a donation?

Not sure if the shipping is deductible. I make charity quilts for Foster children and I like using Hobbs 80/20 batting.
Be sure to keep your receipts. I usually attach a small piece of the fabric I bought to the receipt using a glue stick and keep a digital picture of the quilt in case there is any questions.

I have used only Warm and Natural batting in mine. From the Quilts for Kids FAQ:----------------------------------------------------------What type of batting should I use? Please use LOW LOFT 1/8 to 1/4 inch batting. Cotton or poly or a combination of the two is acceptable.-----------------------------------------------------------I never worried about the cost of the item or the shipping amount since I have only done 4 or 5 of these. It might be worthwhile if you make a lot of them.Pam

I've always used W&N in mine as well. Never had any issues/complaints. I'm fortunate in that they are just across the river from me and I can drop mine - no shipping. Agree, also, that it's a great organization.
