Great color choices and what a fun pattern! I'm another warm 'n' natural fan.

good job

Batting ~ I like cotton batting . . . Warm and Natural is nice because it can be quilted every 10 inches. So, W&N is a nice one for tying. I have some Hobbs (cotton) BUT it needs to be quilted every 4 inches

You've done a wonderful job!!! :D :thumbup: Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see your second quilt :!: :!:
I like Warm and Natural.

Yay! Look at you! It's beautiful. I like cotton batting too. I hope you will make more quilts.

I like warm and Natural and Warm and White... great battings.

it is beautiful. I love dog prints and this one is really cute.I use warm and natural. It machine quilts easier.

VERY VERY PRETTY :D

Very nice quilt. I like the color combination and pattern.

As for batting, it depends on the final look you are going for with your quilt. If you are looking for the antique, crinkly look, use an 80/20 cotton or wool batting. If you're looking for a look similar to today's comforters, go with a 100% polyester batting. There are also bamboo and silk battings available, both are a more expensive though. Each quilter has their favorite and there are many good manufacturers of batting, Warm & Natural, Hobbs, Fairfield, Mountain Mist, just to name a few.

Another factor is loft and whether you want your quilt to end up thinner for year round comfort (low loft) or winter use only (high loft). Lower lofts are easier to quilt with both hand and machine. Higher lofts lend themselves toward machine quilting only. The thickness makes hand quilting more difficult with high loft batting.

beautiful....

Your quilt is just beautiful now on to batting, If you are going to hand quilt I would not suggest warm and natural or warm and white. It is hard to needle and you will end up with very sore fingers. LOL Ask me how I know!
I love fairfield traditional batting. It is a poly batting for handquilting and very low loft.
If you are going to machine quilt warm and natural or warm and white are great.
