Great bed quilt. I am a fan of wool batting for "grown up" quilts. Soft, drapable, and the quilting shows up nicely. I used bamboo for a baby quilt that went to Corpus Christie, TX; she said it held up well. I hate polyester battings because they are hard to quilt (they have such a tendency to slide) and sometimes beard through. I use Warm and Natural in (almost) all my baby quilts because I know it washes well without special handling. A variety of battings is good!

Thanks. I love the two that look a bit like plaid. They are great.

I did not see where you said anything about the yardage of the Janet Claire fabric you used so my question is how much did you have/buy? That is, did you have a yard of each or did you buy some sort of bundle of the fabric, half yards, quarter yards? As I mentioned before, I really like her fabrics and seem to need a reason to buy some. Ha! Still drooling over your quilt!
