Talking about batting
In talking about batting, in the post Batting Prices, it got me thinking.
I'm curious if it matters what color it is. I normally use the Warm and Natural, which is an ecru color, but just recently purchased Warm and White, which is a bright white.
Do you have a preference to the color of your batting, or does it really not make any difference?

I agree. I generally wear ecru/beige bras under white, cream, black, or other colored tops for the same reason. I use a "natural" color of batting, whether W&N or Quilters Dream most of the time.

I use the "natural" ecru, cream or muslin color W&N on nearly all my quilts. I did buy a package of warm and white that I found on sale. I did not find a big difference since the color did not show through at all. . I had one quilt that the longarmer suggested that I use black and the "feel" of the finished quilt was quite different. They sent the scraps of the back batting home with the quilt and I would not use it again. I don't know the brand. Just like anything else, it is good to get your fingers on the batting to make sure you like the "feel" before committing to use any batting, color or not.

At Joann's Fabric, the Warm and White 90 x 40 yd roll is the same price as the Warm and Natural 90 x 40 yd roll. (though the Warm and Natural Roll is out of stock at the moment) And, at the moment (at least this morning) they were marked as being on sale.
