I have been using warm and natural, or dream green since I started back to quilting 2 years ago. But this past couple weeks, I've been making some lil twister Christmas wreaths for presents. I pulled out my scrap bag with the smaller pieces of batting, and I had one of the puffy pieces just perfect sin size for one of them. So I quilted them all, and I liked the puffy one the best. But not all the wallhangings I make or miniatures would look good with the fluffy, so I guess it's just what you like and what you are making.
