Thanks, everyone!
Loved the Ecc 7:8 reference, duckling. Perfect for quilting!
The batting in the baby quilts is a 5 oz. polyester. It is loosely spun together, so even tho it's thin and light, it will puff up and hold air for a warm quilt. Those quilts will make good "tummy time" on the floor, as they are nice and cushy.
I buy the batting by the roll from Marshall's Dry Goods in AR. It's much cheaper than cotton or 80/20, so that's a plus too.

Thank you for the quilt show! You have been sew busy! Can you tell me what background fabric is used in the 3 baby quilts? I am impressed that the blocks all match so well for a block swap. Also, I like the loft of your baby quilts...what batting did you use?

Backgrounds are various whites or white on white. You should check out the Boom swaps on the board. These were from that swap.
Batting info was given in the post just before yours...
