I was just pondering this same question. I am thinking of not making any more quilts for a while with warm & Natural or the half and half batting . I do not really like the feel and the weight of those quilts, and I do have several I made. You cannot wrap yourself up in one like a nice puffy one. The first quilt I made 20 yrs ago, I used Wall Mart Fabric and the polyester batting and it is as pretty today as when I made it . I would think it is the matter of taste. The stiff are ice for wall hangings and place mats but other that that I am turning over to polyester .I prefer a light weight blanket to a heavy one. It is up to you it is your quilt .
