@ Katybob and Dotty: I just placed an order, Katybob. I hope it works for me as well. If not, I'll just keep tracy, Dotty!
Also, I'm about to order some silk batting from Richland Silk co. I bought a sample of their silk batting many years ago at a quilt show. It's true what 'they' say, it's like quilting butter. I have a top I finished a while ago. It's a Tennessee Waltz (alternating 58-40 or Fight and Snowball blocks) that I'm going to hand quilt. It is expensive batting, but I don't hand quilt very often, so it's worth it to me. I believe the last quilt that I hand quilted (and finished!) was when my 16 1/2 yr old son was an infant. So I think I'll invest in a silk batt every 15 or 20 yrs.
