When you say 100% cotton, do you really mean 100% cotton because it that has to be quiltet quite closely together or it will come apart.

Even Warm and Natural which is advertised as all cotton has a polyester scrim to hold it together. Warm and Natural and the other Warm Company products can be quilted with quite a distance between quilting lines. I always quilt closer than the maximum distance because I don't like the look of minimal quilting but sometimes it does come in handy.

The 80/20 (like Hobbs) is 80% cotton and 20% polyester fiber. It has the stability of cotton and the airyness of the polyester.

Warm Blend is a 50/50 cotton/poly blend and it feels great and needles quite well.
