I don't like any thing poly. At one of the retreats I went to the visiting speaker says she only uses wool and it has made a world of difference in the ease of machine quilting. I have not tried it yet but I am going to.

I like warm and natural, but my family tends to like heavier/warmer quilts, even though we live in Georgia! So I have discovered that I really like Quilters Dream Cotton in deluxe or supreme loft. Must be machine quilted, but turns out nice warm quilts. I have some wool batting that I am anxious to try.

I read somewhere that it is better to use cotton batting in baby quilts because it is safer. A quilt with poly batting was hanging in a quilt show when the power went out. It just so happens that it was hanging in front of an emergency light and a hole was burned in the quilt. The article said had it been a cotton batting the damages would have been less serious.
I always use W&N in baby quilts. I used wool in a hand quilted quilt & thought it was easier than W&N for hand quilting. I use W&N for machine quilting on my longarm.
I like buying it by the roll & cutting what I need for each project.
