Same here. I used a fabric shaver on this quilt two months ago to remove the pills and need to do it again. Both sides of the quilt have pills. One side is med/dark and the other side is light. It was hand quilted, and the lady insisted on using her own batt because "the needle goes through easier." AUGH!
